I hope that they replace the Iron Skillet with a decent sit down restaurant and not just more fast food or retail store space. It's hard to believe that the owner Bobby Beckstreser [ hope I spelled it right ] would close the Iron Skillet but it's his business. It will be surely missed. Anyone have photos of the gutted restaurant would be wonderful.
TA in Ogallala, NE is a bit run down, weird showers. but I ate in the country pride and it was good twice. Lots of flies in the restaurant, maybe why it tasted so good who knows.
First truck stop I ever stayed at was in Florence KY. Got there at 3pm and got the last spot. Woke up to take a shower and my passenger mirror was pushed all the way back and touching my window. Walked in to take a shower and it looked like a scene from a Saw movie. Turned around and walked out... Second one I ever stayed at was in Jessup MD...I don't think any more needs to be said. Anymore there's only a few truck stops I actually look forward to staying at. Rutter's is a chain gas station in central PA, basically Sheetz on steroids with truck parking and a scale, no showers but fantastic food. They have a whole menu dedicated to SPAM. Awesome stop if you ever get the chance, just don't go to the one in Carlisle. There's a Pilot in Mention PA right off of I80 that's old school, has a nice diner and clean showers. Other than those I just sleep at the shipper or receiver. Too many inconsiderate people at truck stops to be honest
About your stay in Florence, KY: Was that back when it was the Burns Brothers Union 76? It's a crappy T/A now, even though they tore down the old building and put up a totally new property.
Yeah, Florence has always been a hole, no matter who owned it. Must be all the craziness coming out of Cincinnati and Covington.
