    Seriously. I love walking into places that are dated as hell inside. I don't like modern styles.

    I wish preservation was an attitude. Instead everyone wants to modernize, modernize, modernize. Ugh.

    Case in point: TA in Bloomsburg. The restaurant was a time capsule to the early '90s. I loved it. Went in there a few days ago to find that it had been completely renovated. Left the place fairly pissed off.

    I like outdated decor as long as it is reasonably clean and maintained.

    I will concede that the counter/seating area in the front at the Bloomsburg TA was much older, and was run-down and needed to be renovated. The booths were literally falling apart. The back, however, was fine.

    Oh well. I guess I should be thankful they didn't rip it out entirely in favor of closed-at-11 fast food.

    Is that the one up in Mt. Airy? I've only been in that one to do a trailer swap with another driver. I seem to recall it's an independent with J fuel.
