Old Truck Stop Photo's

The Truckers Inn , I have some very fond memories of that place (and some I would like to forget) of that place from the 80s!!

 

Don't forget "Country Bob's" beer joint next to the T/A truckstop , in Binghamton Ny ,( I-81 South, ) they had a big motel, and there was a strip club about a mile up the road with a Motel across from it too! I did get some truckin done back then, but down time didn't really bother me too much.

 

Ive got some pictures of the Baker Truck Corral somewhere. Great place with a great restaurant - still open !

 

Wasn't that strip joint called the Wooden Nickel or something like that? Been there many times while staying at the TA. That was one of the original Truckstops of America founded by Phillip Saunders.

 

I believe most if not all the 76 truckstops had those upstairs roomettes. Some drivers would complain that they were too small but all you needed was a bed, chair to hang your clothes even a mechanical alarm on the wall and at such a small price. Today they are all closed up or being used as storage areas.

 

I was just up in Bangor ME off I95 exit 180 truck stop named Dysarts its still got a good old school vibe.

 

Jessup Maryland Truckstop had a bar in the basement in the 70s and early 80s, but it was bought out by TA and the bar was closed around 1986 or 87
