    Duckie,
    Your book project is really interesting to me ... I am working on a TV project for an old school truck stop somewhere in the midwest ... What do you think of Mitten's, outside Oakley Kansas on I70? ... Anyone else have an opinion?
    Thx,. Carmelo

    Another good one in Kansas was Beto Junction. I think it's a TA now, but lots of history.

    Mittens used to be old school, but after TA took over it's just another convenience store.

    I don't think you'll hear from Duckie, it's been almost 4 years since they've been on. Check out Newells truck stop in Newton, Ks.

    Silver Bridge Truck Stop in Mulberry, Ar(X29 I-540) was definitely a mom-n-pop stop with parking for about ten trucks and some really good home made sloppy joes in their diner.
