Long gone, but light tower which use to be over the pumps are still standing. I believe this was a Mobile Gas - but I could be wrong.

I remember the station, and store, the building to the right is a bar, and despite the OPEN sign it has not been since about 2011.
This station did a steady business, a couple blocks south was a convenience store, called the Pink Store (and it is still pink), that pulled some drive by inside business, but this was the only gas station in town when people traveled by US highways and state highways.
This was the best way to the goose and duck hunting blinds on the Mississippi back in the day.
"The economic engine of this tiny burg in northern Lincoln County has been a gravel parking lot on the side of an abandoned convenience mart on Highway 79.
"Boards cover doors and windows of a gas station that used to do business as Family Market.
"The 2010 Census counted 161 residents — 66 fewer people than Foley had in 1910. Not quite a ghost town, Foley is more of a zombie. A government keeps going thanks to revenue from its municipal court." ~ By Jeremy Kohler • St. Louis Post-Dispatch - Feb 13, 2016
