Description
St. Louis had the first gas station in the United States. Back in the day, gas stations were built with intriguing designs – some looking like Hansel and Gretel cottages, some looking like houses with canopies. But then uniformity set in. Then gas stations became unprofitable. But the intriguing gas stations did not go away – in St. Louis you get married in one, you can buy craft beer in one, you can buy goldfish in one, and you can have your child’s respiratory infections cured in one. Doug Schneider will show you examples of how the gas station has evolved in St. Louis.
