    Well........that's a reason, too.

    That's as far as I'm willing to go in a public forum.

    Could be low voltage, 1 weak battery can stop an electric tarp.
    Also that box that says open/close goes out,
    Sometimes a little love tap helps.

    The sign on the door said the restaurant at the Lamar PA TA was "Closed due to Covid-19."

    Apparently they haven't heard the war is over.

    A couple of those nasty Big ### Burgers, and a bag of Cheez-Its. #### it. It's too hot for a big meal, anyway.

    I'll eat when I get back to civilization.

    It's been YEARS since I've been this far east on I-80. There used to be some good eats in this lane. #### shame.

    Could be they went broke during, can't get help to come work now is passing, or other financial
    effects due to it. There is still a lot of "shake out" coming before near normal returns.

    True, but many of the Country Pride and Iron Skillet restaurants west of PA are operating almost normally. (I haven't found one back to 24hr/day, yet.)
