    There's really not many "truck stops" left anymore. Just truck convenience stores.

    5th Wheel, Fresno CA. I'll be generous and say somebody "missed the toilet" while squatting, and then once in there was no handle or knob on the restroom door to get out. Had to use my knife to pry the door open.

    If you use Facebook, check out the page "truckstops of yesteryear." Fascinating pics and stories from a time long gong by now.

    That truck stop has opened and closed, changed owners, been bought and sold at tax auctions..... and still remains a dump.

    You must be talking about the one around Dolton, that one was off of 94. Closed maybe 6 years ago, and there was a truckomat wash there I think.

    There is another one in east chicago by that Casino, right off the toll road that is pretty rough.

    The old T/A on the south loop of 285 in ATL, pretty sure that was the obly place that I was hassled at the same time by a lizard, drug dealer, dvd guy, wheel polish guy with greasy clothes, b.o. and dirty spray bottle talking about his "miracle formula", and jobless toothless bums.
