I didn't see one here, but there is a restored Sinclair station a couple of miles from my house with a huge one on the roof.

What an awesome find! Love the 12 MPH school sign; I don't think most people could keep their cars at that consistently low a speed if they tried! The cops would make a fortune from the speeding tickets LOL.

But where's the Sinclair dinosaur?

Nice contrast w/the long-term storage in the BG. PP works very well for this little bit of history.

Fantastic - other comments took my words too. I love the pp, this old place got the deserved attention with your photo.

BTW there's a dot on the left side, next to the pole - I only noticed it because I'm finding them a lot on my photos... got to have that sensor cleaned :).
