    I looked at their list of open restaurants and noticed the only thing open in Oregon is the bar at the TA in Troutdale, Mrs B's Lounge. Hmmm...

    Is that good or bad? The last time I shut down around Portland it wasn’t around any of the truck stops as we have a terminal in Wilsonville.

    These days I'm not sure about a bar. But back some years I spent quite a bit of time in the bar, and it was a hopping place when it was a Burns Bros stop.

    Likely TA just leases the space and lets the bar decide.

    It seems to depend on the state as far as I've seen. In my usual runs, Illinois and Indiana seem to be the worst offenders as far as keeping everything closed goes. So, I don't think they are volunteering to stay closed, it's the state authorities that are doing that.

    You can still get showers, laundry etc. but the restaurants are closed... as for “country pride” I’m not really heartbroken...
