Stony Ridge truck stop

I thought they were closing the old Stony last year. Supposedly it's sold for a multi use industrial park and retail up front. That truck stop has been an eye sore, and a problem for a very long time. You're in my back yard a couple exits south.

 

That used to be a nice place back in the day , nice showers , good restaurant and a bar that was packed on weekends.
The fuel islands closed about 15 years ago , then the restaurant went out , then the bar had a fire and closed .
I haven't stopped there in years but it's been in decline a long time.

 

The bar had a lot of problems before it closed, police always getting called out. It really needs to just close, what sucks is there really is no parking in Cincinnati left. They did just open a J over on 71, but there really needs to be another on 75. It was in the paper locally in the fall about it being turned into a light industrial retail development.

 

Is that the place with a hole in the bathroom wall big enough to roll a soccer ball through? Looks like a war zone in the "store"?
Hey, at least they have free coffee! Or did last time I was there.
I ran out of hours at the Home Depot DC in spitting distance of there, so no real choice. But I made sure I always had a choice if I was in the area

 

I had to do a ten there once. I had no choice. I had 1 minute left on my 14. Oh how I wanted to make it 6 more miles to the Pilot north of there. I even had to pay 10 bucks to park!÷

 

That place used to to rock on Friday and Sat night in the 80s and 90s.

 

Cannot fully grasp the visual on this place without pics!! Pics of the store , or mongoloid, whichever you prefer.
