Up the road in an old gas station is Fuel Pizza. This and the one in Charlotte are converted from old gas stations. The Fuel pizza boxes are cool as they nice artwork that looks like a wood cut showing late 30's cars with an old pump and attendant in uniform. It is also one of the very few places I have found a stromboli on the menu. Davidson has built several new old style buildings to fit in with the old downtown architecture. 05-08

Metcalf, NC

In the town of Metcalf, which is essentially a town on the map but no town when you get there, was this restored Texaco station at a cross roads. It is miles from the nearest actual downtown but the sign mentions it was restored by the people of Metcalf. The building looked new so maybe all that is left from the original structure are the pillars. 05-08

Old Gas Station
North Wilkesboro, NC

 The old 50's modern gas station was in Wilkesboro, just a few miles south. I have no idea what kind of gas was sold here but I have seen several stations of this style around the Carolinas, all of which are used for other things. 05-08
