    Look. It could be worse.

    They could reopen the TA in Conyers.

    You mean the one in Conley. 285 exit 53. Was a dump at it's best.

    Was that the one that used to be Transport City back in the 70's? Strange place. The
    building was a motel at one end, and the shop, restaurnt, and C-store were at the other.

    So goes the T/A's, so goes the rest of the country too. It's like throwing money into an old heap of car, at some point you just run it until it doesn't move anymore and then sell it for whatever. Besides, who is paying truck stop prices for anything, ever? I only buy the marked down stuff, if even that. I never earned enough as a driver to splurge at the Petro or T/A..ha ha.

    When everything is marked up an additional 100%, it’s only worth buying when it’s clearanced out at 50% off.

    Didn’t that one have a hepatitis issue about a year and a half ago?

    Meanwhile things aren’t exactly popping up roses and potpourri at Pilot either. image.jpg The Arby’s at the Pilot in Greenville,Virginia is closed (I-81,Exit 213). At least the Loves up the street is operational,along with its McDonald’s.

    Well, that certainly blows. I'll take Iron Skillet anyday over IHOP. Just my opinion.

    JonJon78, I believe that was originally a Rip Griffin.
