The Teapot Dome Service Station I either got from Atlas Obscura or a book called Weird Washington…read morebut I can't entirely be sure but this place has been on my bookmark list forever and finally got to go to it while on vacation. It's Yelp classification of Local Flavor fits the bill precisely! Historical and unusual this tea pot dome service station was actually a functioning one at one point in time and the building has been kept up and maintained perfectly so it looks quite pristine! Antique gas pumps are nearby to admire, a pic nic table and a memorial nearby. Admission is free and the day I was here I visited with a very congenial gentleman about the nearby area and took some info home about the building and the area. Definitely a cute place to stop! The attraction isn't anything that would be too terribly time consuming to stop at and a good place to stretch your legs and enjoy a service station of the past.

For anyone who appreciates history, architecture, scandal and the Venn diagram where all of them…read moreoverlap, the historic Teapot Dome service station in Zillah, Washington is for you! Located on the main drag in downtown Zillah, this iconic structure is both hard to miss and a poignant reminder that if you are an elected official and do something dumb, it will probably be memorialized forever... Perhaps in the form of an old gas station! For those who are unfamiliar with the teapot dome scandal (like I was until about three minutes ago) - here is a link to a Wikipedia article that will give you some background. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Teapot_Dome_scandal In a nutshell, the presidency of Warren G. Harding was rocked by some illegal activity where leases to drill for oil were granted inappropriately. One such place was in teapot dome, Wyoming... Hence the name. Wouldn't you know, those rascals in Zillah, Washington were on the ball and constructed this novelty gas station as a reminder of the past and to give your kids something fun to look at when you would stop for gas. Unfortunately, this place doesn't have active pumps anymore, but they do use it as a welcome center for the community. There's a nice little parking lot out front, some restrooms if you need to stop, and plenty of opportunity for a picture that will remind you of those clever people down in Zillah! Also, I can imagine architects may appreciate all that goes into a place like this. At present, I don't have a good enough appreciation for the complexities of architecture to know whether not this place is a masterpiece or a piece of crap. Either way, it looks like something out of a nursery rhyme and is unique in the service stations that I have ever been privy to. If you're going through the area, it's worth taking a three minute detour to go see this place!

Time is a terrorist.) But yeah, all of these atrocities were in my head as I sat in court....as an accused violator....of...... NOT WEARING A SEATBELT!!!! I arrived at the court in Grandview 10 minutes early, and went straight to the court room. I sat with all the other Accused on the benches. Benches which reminded me of pews of a church (that alone got me feeling queasy!). Why do courts all look the same? I couldn't help thinking of this scene Strange Brew Visual while sitting there: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SorQB4tzqf0 9:00 AM P.S.T.: The court reporter sets up a TV/DVD and plays us a movie. We watched a short video which described the options us criminals (accused!) had. I sat there in my preppy/nerdy attire, trying not to sweat too much ("beware the man who sweats!"). I wondered who I was surrounded by---murderers, wall street tycoons, crooked politicians....... ....they turn out to almost all be seatbelt violators as well!!! Some won their contests, some lost, and others asked for a lighter sentence. Me, I wanted to plead my case à la Atticus Finch (To Kill A Mockingbird), but I probably ended up being more of a Vincent (My Cousin Vinny). At any rate, my case was cut and dry---why else would I waste half of my day for a $125 ticket. I really was ready to prove that I truly did have my seat belt on that dark night in October. The judge asked me to 'splain myself, and then that was it. The Trooper didn't show. "You're free to go," said the judge. :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: THE SCRIPTED ENDING :::::::::::::::::::::::::::: [ Cut to Entrance of Courthouse on Sunny Friday morn ] The door opens.
