UNIQUE PLACES: LAST CLAM SHELL SERVICE STATION IN WINSTON-SALEM, NC

 Photo:  Source

Atlas Obscura indicates the store is now abandoned and:

"The clamshell stations represented the transformation of a brand into a building, a symbol into a real thing. When Raymond Loewy designed the current Shell symbol in 1971, it had already gone though many incarnations. Although the original 1901 brand for the London-based Shell Transport and Trading Company was a mussel shell, by 1904 the scallop shell was introduced – possibly from the family coat of arms of the company’s founder Marcus Samuel, whose business would merge with Royal Dutch Petroleum Company to form Royal Dutch-Shell Oil. Samuel had a habit of naming his tankers after different kinds of shells, and he had a background importing objects from the Far East, including beautiful shells.

It wasn’t easy to make shell-shaped gas stations. The office and bathroom area were boxed in, surrounded by a bent wood and wire frame, and then covered in stucco. This last station remained open until the 1950s and housed a lawn mower repair business in the 1970s and 80s. In 1976, it became the first individual station in America to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places."

From the description from the following video by FOBOS Planet:

"Breaking: At least 80 dead, 1300 missing, after heavy rain caused severe flooding in western Germany. Massive Floods in Erftstadt-Blessem, Germany (July 15, 2021). Record rainfall in western Europe caused rivers to burst their banks, devastating the region. Belgium has also reported at least 12 dead after the extreme weather, which political leaders have blamed on climate change. German Chancellor Angela Merkel has pledged full support for the victims. In Germany, the states of Rhineland-Palatinate and North Rhine-Westphalia were worst hit."

Please keep those affected in your prayers.

Unique Place: Medina Haram Piazza Shading Umbrellas

Umbrellas that open and close like this would be a great idea in many hot cities.

Per Wikipedia:

"Medina Haram Piazza Shading Umbrellas or Al-Masjid An-Nabawi Umbrellas are convertible umbrellas erected at the piazza of Al-Masjid an-Nabawi in Medina, Saudi Arabia.^[1] The shade of the umbrella is spread in the four corners, and the area covered by the shade extends to 143,000 square meters. These umbrellas are aimed to protect worshipers from the heat of the sun during prayer, as well as from the risk of slipping and falling in the event of rain. Similar structures are built at the square of the mosques worldwide. At Al-Masjid An-Nabawi, there are total of 250 umbrellas.^[2]"

NEW FOOD ITEM: KELLOGG'S FROSTED FLAKES WITH CRISPY CINNAMON BASKETBALLS

 

I spotted this on a recent trip to Walmart.  It is a new spin on an old favorite by adding cinnamon-flavored basketball shapes to the mix.

It looks like it would be fun cereal and would probably taste good.  The cost is $3.64.

However, the second ingredient per Walmart's website is sugar, and the percentage 24% so would be one to consume in moderation like any high sugar content cereal.

VINTAGE VEHICLE: 1940 IH SCOUT WOODIE

It sure looks good for being over 70 years old.  Imagine the places it has gone and times it has seen.

Our family has owned several Scouts and they are sturdy and built to last, except if you live in where it is snowy quite a bit and they salt the roads it takes its toll on the body.

On Surf rods and Woodies a Facebook user posted two pictures of a 1940 IH Scout Woodie.
