    That Loves was torn down and rebuilt. As in anything at that exit, it still can be a cluster but the expanded parking at least has more than the one way in and out.

    Forget the hwy but there’s this little pos p/fj where it’s like 4 fuel islands and virtually no parking. Have to make a hard right around the building to get into fuel, don’t try it with a spread axle.

    10-2, 10-4.
    I don't recall the Exit numbers on I-20 in Lousyana or Misses Hippy, there were a few Love's that strongly resemble your post. I-10, Louisiana and Mississippi had some wonderful fuel stops that were just a pleasant nightmare.
    Very minimal "parking" and the 2 rights to the fuel island was enormously fun especially with a 53' Dry Van on 8th or 10th hole (weight wasn't the reason for hole selection, just Ride). I have slid Tandems up for some "Lower Prices" fuel challenges and such action only slightly improved access.
    CHEERS!!

    Sounds like the long gone Shenandoah in Old Washington, Ohio. Demolished around 2003 or so.

    If it's a Pilot you're talking about, the last one on I-70 before West Virginia is Millersville. About 40 parking spots, not five, but yeah, they really crammed them in there when they designed it.
