Found in Barstow: Not-so-terrible Restroom Art
Terrible’s, Barstow, CA

Over Winter break, when were on our way to Utah, California’s Central Valley was buried in a cloud inversion. It was a pretty sight. But we’d been driving through thick fog all morning and when we finally made a stop for some gas and a restroom break, it was refreshing to see a splash of color in the restroom area. Today, I’m going to show you some not-so-terrible restroom art at a Terrible’s station in Barstow, California.

In fact, it was interesting and fun! What I saw first was a wall-papered hallway. On the wall were some historic photographs of Terrible (Herbst), back in the day. Below it, were the words: Happily serving route 66 since 1959 (see picture above). And beside it, was another wall-papered wall with pictures of automobile license plates.

And when I went inside, there was some cool Terrible Restroom Art!

Super-heroine’s welcome!

There were super-heroines on the stall doors in the Women’s restroom. And some fun (and some naughty) lines on the walls.๐Ÿ˜

Now for some PSA:

Have you seen some restroom art, recently? Have you been to this gas station in Barstow, CA? Or another Terrible’s Station elsewhere. I just learned that Terrible’s has a lot of art, even proper outdoor murals at several of their locations. I’m going to start looking for them when I travel to Vegas/ Utah anytime in the future. They call them ‘Terrible Art,’ I read.

    How wonderful, Dee. I laughed at “remain seated.” So clever. When I lived in MO, my house was located on the “old” Route 66 before the new highway went in. I can just imagine sitting on my porch watching the cars drive by as the followed the route from beginning to end. I LOVE this!!
