    Hopefully pilot never gets their hands on it, they will take the theater and put 8 subways in there and cut the parking lot in half.

    Man, I'm sorry to hear about this. I never was able to make it there after it reopened.

    Heaven forbid we end up with "Haslam's Place"....

    Layed over a whole weekend, went into the bar for a cold beverage, LOUD music, too light, what a weird space. The showers didn't have toilets in them. What were they thinking? If you are a Willie fan, so be it, but as a truck stop, it left MUCH to be desired....I wasn't impressed. The end of the biodiesel tax credit killed this place. Write your Congressperson, ok?
