former Save Gas station [gone]
Independence, MO
This former Save Gas station closed in 2010 just before this photo was taken. In 2011, the sign was carefully loaded onto a trailer and taken away. By 2014, the building had been demolished and there was a new Conoco station on the lot. This Save Gas station may have been part of a chain since I've been told there was another location in Overland Park, MO. There is a different looking Save Gas sign in Racine, WI.
