    I'm sure many of you have been to the Pilot truck stop on I-75 near the TN/KY line with the big rocket and fireworks store beside it. If not there then maybe you know the XXX bookstore across the interstate beside a church with three huge crosses. :)

    Well anyways it burnt down tonight and I'm sure a few trucks had a front row seat.

    No idea yet? There was several people inside so there is no telling. I think they all got out. Maybe it was a trucker making a YouTube video. :)

    It was kind of an icon sitting up there.

    In other news that Subway is having a sale on toasted foot long (11") subs all this week for $4. Firecracker Chicken is $3. :)

    It looks like them Sysco trucks are sitting up there? I wonder how they got past the low clearance if they are?
