    You recognized?? Old stops had a sign; Name and brands... Then like Truck Ice. Block and Blown. Then they had this little 10' square dock in front the ice house, the blower sitting on it. You got to back up; open and get "coated', or aim head in at an angle, cut hard right, stop, then jack the LH trailer nose up close to get the blocks thrown in. That is when you filled the little tank on the B & S putt putt while you could reach...
    Many an illegal load crossed a scale house with a big block of ice weeping water out under the back doors. Produce, exempt, Go ahead....

    2 1/2 years last time I was there, restaurant had gone way down hill. Pretty much just serving TV dinners. The whole place was a dump. I really hate to see places that were once a really good stop just turn to crap. I wish I hadn't stopped, I could have remembered it the way it used to be.
