Yeah, they look as real as the inflatable “Dino the Dinosaur” they used to give out with a free fill up down at the Sinclair Gas Station. .. Wait!

I still remember when the Texaco station at Broadway and Chimney Rock Rd. was still full service. I don't even know if those exist anymore. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They use Sunoco gas at the Stripes/7-11 convenience store right by my house. They haven't changed out the Stripes to 7-11 logo, but they close at midnight. I haven't seen a 7-11 since I lived in Dallas in 2007. I remember they used to be all over East Texas in the 70's and 80's they used to have a warehouse on 271 N. outside of Tyler, but when they pulled out Brookshire's bought it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hookemhorns88 Posted September 30, 2019 Share Posted September 30, 2019 There was an old gas station on East Loop 281 and I-20 that had an old Sinclair dinosaur that had been painted yellow that was motorized and rotated on a pole. We used to ride our bikes there and ride the dinosaur. The station has since been torn down and now there is a big fireworks warehouse there.
