Meteor City, Arizona, Trading post on Route 66 in Arizona, United States
The geodesic dome structure of Meteor City stands as a distinctive landmark along Interstate 40, featuring an abandoned curio shop and historical exhibits.
The site opened in 1938 as Sharber Service Station under the Texaco brand before evolving into a trading post offering gas, groceries, and souvenirs.
The property displayed the extensive hand-painted Route 66 map created by artist Bob Waldmire, stretching across wooden panels near the trading post.
Visitors can access Meteor City from Interstate 40 by taking Exit 239, located between the communities of Winslow and Flagstaff.
The trading post once featured a sign declaring 'Population: 1,' which changed to 'Population: 2' when the owner married his partner Gloria.
