    I think you might have been in Illinois, not Indiana

    Ah man, you are correct. Oh well, pretty much the same thing through that area.

    Truck World in Hubbard, OH.
    Petro 2 in Clearwater, MN.

    Little America I think they don’t any longer. They don’t even have a full service restaurant now which I found odd.

    State law often governs this stuff. In Indiana they don’t sell cold beer at gas stations or truck stops. Liquor store only, and not after 8pm on Sunday for whatever reason. Go over to OH or IL and you can get a cold tall boy anywhere. I don’t usually. Not going to lie and say I’ve NEVER done it but I’m not a big drinker these days. Couple beers occasionally. I hate hangovers

    I read that the newly built/re-opened Tennessean Truckstop has a full service bar.

    Yes they do and I can't understand why they would have included in their rebuild. It must be from local input or pressure. Most drivers are smart enough not to violate the DOT rules regarding alcohol. Let's hope so.

    If you are really dying for a beer after a long day at a middle of nowhere love's etc. grab a 16oz and chug it in the shower, not gonna hurt every now and then and flushes the kidneys. Doc told me several years ago beer is like kidney detergent. Cheers!

    Little America DOES have a restaurant and bar. It's over at the hotel lobby. I go in there from time to time for a Scotch and Ribeye.

    It's open again? Sweet. Last sane place to stop before you get to Crashville.
