Good bye old friend

I liked Willie's Place, too. It is now a Petro. The restaurant is nice, but it isn't the same place. The bar is closed but there is usually ample parking. I don't think they still sell biodiesel. It is still not a bad place to park for a little while and have a decent meal. I think they still have some of the same people working at the truck stop.

 

And the motorcycles

 

Well so long as people insist on going more to these chain stops,

More of the mom and the pop places will go away.

 

and there quite a few in mn too old truck stop's i seen , like albert lee, now a big TA out there, but if you go back west on that two lane , you can still part's of the old truck stop

 

At least Petro has some half decent food.

 

I found a small convenient store/TS that will fix you a home-made style hamburger. I mean you order it then they fix it, you decide what you want on it. They have one that's a double hamburger or cheesburger, it's called Big Ed. The place is called Tripco, located on US-400 & K-99, Severy, Ks. Hey you know it's good, because the farmers, and retired guys will be there every morning waiting for it to open at 5am. They have a few tables set up so you can eat there, or sit and drink coffee and talk..
