    In light of the thread about creating a new big stop I'd like to know what peoples favorite small time stops are. Mine is on 101 in northern califonia. Family owned, plenty of space, resturuant and private driving school on site. Just needs a face lift, since it was built in the 50's

    Triple-T on the east side of Tucson along 10 fwy. FULL SERVICE fuel (including cleaning your lights and mirrors, checking your oil, etc)! Great coffee, VERY nice people. Havent had the food there yet, but others say it's LEGENDARY.

    They have hotel rooms on site also.

    Stockmen's in South St. Paul isn't bad. Lousy parking lot, but a decent (albeit small) restaurant. In the immediate area, it's slim pickin's for truck stops.

    There's a small one at US33 and US127 in Ohio. I don't remember the name and the lot is small but they have great food at a decent price and the people are friendly.

    I assume it's still there as I haven't been up that way in about 9 years.
