Ghosts of truckstops past.

Betts Big T is just a restaurant now but still operating, food is still great too.

 

Guliver’s outside of canton. Walt Whitman in Philly. Stoney ridge in Toledo. Norma’s in cowpens Sc. All gone now

 

Had the little bar next door didn't it?

 

I often wonder if I miss the old Walt Whitman or not…..

 

I still stop at Betts Big T every time that we travel thru Chiefland. If you look at the ceiling and the floor you can still see the outline of where the curved counter was located. And true the food is still very good

 

Didn't that one become the TA? I used to stop at exit 5 on the way south from my Boston run but the TA left a lot to be desired and I stopped going there.

 

You do not. But it was famous or I guess infamous is more correct

 

If you really do miss it, it must be because you survived your last visit. It really got bad there towards the end.

 

The American Truckstop in N. Stonington, CT was also a great old world truck stop and good food. Never cared for it after the remodel and Pilot fuel.
