Gas stations are a hallmark of North American road trips, offering a moment to stretch, refuel, and stock up on snacks. Each structure is slightly different, from the pumps, to the columns, to the bollards.

There is a comforting nostalgia that arises from the ambient hum of drink coolers, sticky floors from spilt Coca-Cola slurpees, watery piping-hot hot chocolate, and roller grill taquitos that have been basking under heat lamps for a questionable amount of time.

Whether you're by yourself, with family, or friends, these liminal spaces foster the dynamic of your pit stop experience.
