    If your headed in or out of Laredo, I like the Petro in Pearsall, Tx. Exit 101. I-35.
    They have the best made to order homemade burritos. You won't leave hungry. Brand new paved parking lot and new shop. Clean. Friendly. They have a big TV in a game room and a drivers lounge w/ TV.

    It's not crazy like Laredo will be and not crowded like San Antonio.

    Repaved? Hm. I remember it was a simple dirt pad then a new gas station then a REALLY big new paved lot and then the remodeling and additions started with the old casino. There was a new hotel put up and so on.

    With a old paver's eye, that lot must have gone into the million plus dollars to build there. I envy the man who got the contract to do it and has the outfit big enough to get it done.

    They're using one of those machines that grinds up the asphalt and conveyors it into trucks .

    I get hungry just reading these posts! Another favorite of mine is the Ameristar Casino in Kansas City, MO. There is always plenty of truck parking, a huge buffet, a great bakery, a 10 screen movie theater, and a zillion slots if that's your thing. I-435 exit 55, go east on MO 210 for about a mile or so.
