Remember old truck stop

The truck stop at Garysburg that was last a T/A was previously called Three Scales. Fueled there every trip up or down 95, 301, 17.

 

I remember the old truck stop at Seven Standard Road north of Baskerville on 99, I believe. It had the best biscuits & sausage gravy I ever had in a truck stop from the East Coast to the West Coast. It tasted just as good as my mother used to make when I was growing up at home.


I remember a convenience store with a small restaurant in Arizona that served a great steak. I don’t remember the exact location. But I remember when loading in Nogales and making my way back to I-10 East, seems it was where I came up to I-10, and or a exit or two east of where I hit I-10. It was on the south side of I-10.


I recall a place in Arizona coming from Yuma to Tucson on the north side of I-8 there was a tavern that also served a great tasting steak at a very good price.


I recall the old Texaco Truck Stop south of Little Rock on I-30 back in the 70’s served some great lunches. Back them if I happened by there around dinner time I would stop to have dinner.


This was in the late 60’s to the 80’s. One thing I learned from driving a truck cross county just because a place looked very good and was squeaky clean as can be did not mean they served great food at good prices. And there was many out of the way places that was not truck stops that served great food. Yet I suppose today its difficult to find parking places for many of those out of the way good places, and probably many of them are gone forever.

Well does anyone remember Cole's Truckstop on Hwy 5 in Alabama? That was a roaring place back in the 50.60.70 and 80s. It's gone now....

 

Manning had a 76. I think also a Petro. I could be wrong on this. I was in Manning roughly 1999 ish.

 

Many in the midatlantic area are memories only now. Of what was once. A few were very valuable stops when parking became a challenge once upon a time.

In terms of food, I forever love the Dutch Country, those people can cook.

 

There is a independent stop in adairsville exit 305 across from the qt.

 

Mt. Vernon ky, Derby city truck stop. Probably has not changed since 1970.
