At home I have a picture hanging on my wall of some little out-of-the-way cafe/bait shop/gas station in the lake regions of central Minnesota. I don't recall the name, but the sign says "Eat here, get gas and worms." Here

There's also this one:

lol, I just remembered that I've seen that Big Dick's Halfway Inn sign in person, was visiting a friend in the Missouri countryside one time when I was in high school I think. I remember blasting past it and seeing it and hoping to get a pic of it on the way back, think I missed it somehow.
