20241013 I was driving from Morgantown, WV, and Google took me on a long drive through a 1-lane residential area for about an hour. I zoomed by a family-owned gas station on the right, and shortly after, I saw this gas station. I hesitated stopping here since the area was somewhat secluded, but a few cars in front of me turned into this gas station, I decided to follow them. I used the restroom first, and it was definitely unique with a dark blue light that I couldn't tell see that well. The restroom appeared to be clean. I explored the market before getting gas and found some things that I hadn't seen before like strawberry rice crispy, Arizonaice tea woth alcohol, and a Tom (and Jerry) keychain (so cute, and I bought 1). Even though this market is small, it offers fried chicken, sandwiches, ice cream, and other snacks. I had a chance to talk to the owner, and he was very nice. This gas station only has 4 pumps. Moving around can be tight but manageable. I wasn't going to wait to get gas, and then I spotted an open pump on the other side. To my surprise, their gas prices are reasonable for Biden/Harris-omic. 93 Octane was less than $4/gallon. I saw the State Line Store sign in the window, and I didn't think much of it... until I was driving away, in the corner of my eye, I spotted the Welcome to West Virginia sign. When facing the gas station, the WV sign will be on your left, on the same side of the gas station. I was heading to VA, and there was the Welcome to Virginia sign, which is located across the street on your right when facing the gas station 😱😱😱. I can't believe I miss these photo opportunities!! I didn't take a picture of the WV sign but attached a photo of what it looks like.
