    I agree the shower water has way to much softener in it, it does suck... I've only had to shower here a couple of times being that I'm out of Chicago...

    Pilot did not by the old truckstop in Tuscola. It closed many years ago when they closed all of the locations except for the one in McLean, IL.

    They have a lot of decorations on the wall. Plus, they kept the old Dixie sign.
