    I like the K & H's resturaunt. If the K & H goes under, we'll all be eating Subway (or whatever that Pilot has).

    I was not impressed with the restaurant there. Nor with the entire facility.

    However, there are 3 areas of parking before Pilot. I do believe it will destroy the one on the west side of 57 and the parking behind McDonalds.

    Well, to each his own when it comes to food. The truck stop is not that wonderful, but I have been going there my whole life (in the truck with Dad) guess you just get used to some things.

    I hope it doesn't go under mostly because I hate going into bigger truck stops, they seem to attract more trash than some of the smaller ones do.

    If you note, I did not list it as being destroyed by the Pilot.

    No, I know what you meant, I meant if K & H closes due to lost business.

    That's great. You go to the Peelot and I'll support the full service truckstop that has a shop and a sit down restaurant.

    Pilot is not very price competetive except to the larger companies. If a person is paying the listed price, K & H will beat them. Their location is the bad thing for them since Pilot is so much more visible.
