    Don't know if anyone stops at South of the Border at the SC/NC line on i95 but their restaurant is gone. I never ate there but i used to park there years ago. I dont think the entire place is closed but you wont get a meal there anymore. Unknown if/when they'll rebuild.

    When business slows and the profits disappear, there's always a mysterious fire. Same as when Pilot/Flying J wants to remodel a location. Let the insurance pay.

    I ate those tacos once while I parked there. They were like school cafeteria tacos. Still, I did enjoy the whole experience of the road side attraction.

    Food was bad, beer was cold.
    The steakhouse across the street wasn't much better.
