    That sucks. Another thing they used to do there. They had a big golf cart with a rag top for the weather. They would cruise the lot and take drivers to and from the truck. Not that some drivers, myself included couldn't use the exercise, but it was nice during bad weather not to get soaked.

    Whites was good when the old couple had it, after they passed and the kids got hold of it, it went right down the toliet! The only saving grace for that place was when Petro moved in. Still a nice place they just opened the new shop has a small chrome shop now and they are building the truckwash. They still run the shuttle around the lot. I do miss the bakery and fresh rolls they use to make there
