    All markings removed for petro, but under new management. Same restaurants and still open for business.

    That's interesting. I wonder why. Wasn't it something else before?

    It was a petro 2 back in 1999. I rarely run that road anymore.

    Petro 2 is a smaller scale version of a Petro Stopping Center. Usually with a fast food joint, a couple showers, c store, small parking lot. Basically like Petro's version of a Love's or Pilot. Just a fuel stop. No lounge, theater, laundromat, etc.

    A few like the one east of Montgomery, AL, Kingston Springs, TN and the one on I 10 in Louisiana have a sit down cafe, called the Quick Skillet.

    Nevermind, I'm thinking of the Flying J up the road.

    I ran through there about 2 years ago and was surprised to see the J.

    I usually stay at the TA on Dallas Pike in Wheeling when I cruise through there.
