St. Louis Science Center was
founded in 1963 and is situated in Forest Park. It has a science museum
and a planetarium . Admission is FREE. It is one of two science centers
in the United States which offers free general admission. However, it
must have been after hours when the two RV Gypsies got here because
it was closed. |

DESPITE THE FACT THAT THE
Amoco oil company is long since defunct, the World’s Largest Amoco Sign,
originally built on top of a St. Louis gas station, was actually wider
than the building that it was perched on top of. It still towers over
a Missouri intersection more as a copyright placeholder than a tribute
to the company's legacy.This titanic oil company sign is a reminder
of the Americana boom of the 70's. Address: 981 S. Skinker Blvd. St,
Louis, Missouri |
