There are a few “upcycle” gas stations on Amelia island. Both are restaurants. Menus list our favorites. Hand patted cheeseburgers, home cut fries, and Glorious milkshakes.

There is a similar old gas station in High Point that has been converted into a storefront showroom during the High Point Furniture Market each April and October. I can imagine that as a library outpost, an after-school tutoring spot, an Ag Extension outpost, a coffee kiosk, even somebody's tiny house. Imagine the fabulous garden they could put around it once the concrete were gone.

You had me until I read a few more paragraphs. I was thinking it was actually a temple. Sad to see these go. There are a few in my neck of the woods but they are in danger.

I love blue highways because you never know what you will find. My husband is used to stopping for pics.

If you bought it, it might be a brownfield, polluted with oil and gas.
