    Visiting a TA is like using a time machine. Don't ever change.

    Of course not. The way of life for corporations for a long time now is to cry poor when they are doing adequately, and do more with less when they are doing well so they can be purchased by a bigger fish.

    Of course they will. If they making money from pay 2 park, now they will have you pay 2 park + pay for reserve spot (cause 9 out of 10 spots will be reserved)
    30$ from 1 truck at night , will make shareholders happy ^_^

    Well, I’m not a shareholder or a customer. Best of luck to ‘em. I refuse to patronize them.

    When was the last time a new TA was built? All the ones I have been to are dumps.

    I've personally been to two new ones that opened this year. There are others. They are opening under the TA Express banner.
