    Anybody familiar with the immediate area near it? Looking for a place to park for a while and burn thru some time. Without having to backtrack way out of town. Doesn't have to be a truck stop. Wal Mart, Home Depot, industrial buildings with big "space for lease" signs outside of it close by maybe? Have to reload there Friday morning.

    I wish I could find some decent roach coaches. Maybe some of the ones from that show "Diner's, Drive In's, & Dive's"? Of course you can only go places like that in a four wheeler usually, right? I scoped this port out on google maps and it looks like a lot of fun (can you say residential streets?) the short trip over there in the morning. New Orleans is one of those places like Pittsburgh, which I always hated going to.

    I found a decent parking spot. Within 5 minutes some gentlemen was offering to sell me gold jewelry at really low prices. Had a hand full of gold chains.
