The December Where Is this photo by Union Power Cooperative member Bettina Vernon features a green dinosaur on Lancaster Avenue in downtown Monroe, at the appropriately named High Octane Coffee Creamery & Eatery. The coffee shop preserved the green Sinclair dinosaur mascot, “Dino,” as well as other original symbols and structures when renovating the old gas station. According to Sinclair Oil, Dino has been around since the 1930s, when a marketing campaign included different dinosaurs, with the Apatosaurus becoming the favorite. Readers noted quite a few Sinclair Oil green dinosaurs still roam across the state. The winning entry chosen at random from all correct submissions came from Trisha Autry of Marshville, a Union Power Cooperative member.
