    The Old Place had its "Charm" and Willie was a common figure in the back room Domino games we play there several nights a week.

    Fun times in Hill County !

    So from what I'm understanding is that the place is nothing but a Willie Nelson Museum that sells diesel fuel?

    Nope...it's got diesel, and gas, a c-store, a restaurant, a bar, and a live music theater.

    Plus, the photos of all who have played there, old guitars, etc.
    It's really a pretty interesting place to stop.

    We stopped in at Willie's a few weeks ago. It's great looking at the collection of items that belong to Willie along with the many pictures on the wall.
    Everyone is very friendly and helpful. The prices are somewhat high.
    The food in the restaurant is ok. Quite expensive for us truckers who are not making as much money as we use to.
    I would suggest going there to see for yourself. Stopping by one time is enough for me.
