The "THING" exit 322 I-10 in the best state, certainly has grown up.
I remember stopping here with the family 50 years ago when I was 3, when it had billboards for 100 miles every mile, and it was a shack for the most part, dimly lit with wooden floors.
I won't say what The "THING" is, for those that have yet to see it.
But, easy truck parking with a Dairy Queen.

Tell me they still have all the billboards. That place was a hoot to stop at whenever I was traveling to or from Az.
South of the Border in SC always reminds me of it when I travel down 95. Just cause of all the signs. The Thing is far more awesome in my opinion then the over priced fire work stand that could double as a crack house.
They put a DQ in there? Don't recall it last I was out there. Times sure have changed.

Make sure you visit the Thing afterwards!
I once had killer tacos from a DQ in Texas. Same bus ride had a rodeo/cowboy fella on it who kept starting a fight with the driver. I I recall he got dumped somewhere. It was a boring ride after that.
An thank you Dave. Just as I remember it.
