McDonald's / Shell (Montgomery, Texas)

This is a modified Google Maps Street View shot from the mid-2010s.

As I mentioned in the post on Hi-Ho, Highway 105 meant something to me at one time. In December 2003 I was really into McDonald's at the time (in terms of unusual menu items and restaurant buildings) so I loved this combo McDonald's/Shell gas station when I saw it (located at 15476 Highway 105). It was only a few years old at the time (I'm not 100% sure it opened with a Shell in 1999). Originally (until the mid-2010s), the canopies that added additional seating along Lake Conroe were painted yellow and red, but now they're tan. Timewise was also adopted as the convenience store name at some point. The McDonald's was "de-mansarded" in the late 2010s.

In 2003, the nearby strip center and the apartments behind it weren't developed yet, giving it a much more isolated and private nature. This of course appeared first originally on Carbon-izer.com as many recent posts did, but future posts in the Highway 105 series will be original.
