"A Gargantuan Slice of History"

This ginormous Amoco sign, the largest in the world, located at the intersection of three major thoroughfares, Skinker Boulevard, Clayton Road and Oakland Avenue, is a hop, skip and jump from what locals refer to as Highway 40, just within St. Louis City. The colossus stands on the roof of a gas station. Some gigantic gas sign or other has been here since 1932. In 1998, Amoco merged with BP. Thereafter, all Amoco-branded stations were rebranded BP, only for the Amoco brand to make a comeback in select markets in 2017. The sign was renewed in 2019 and now looks much as it has in living memory. Everyone in the city has memories associated with the sign. The current sign is 40 feet high and 60 feet wide. The gas station is operational under the Stevenson's HiPointe Amoco franchise. It even brings people from other parts, who mostly take selfies. This sign had a twin on Amoco’s Chicago office building, now lost forever.
