    No, the Petro is still there on top of the mountain with additional mountain. Pilot bought out the old Skyline down the street. Across from the Mall there.

    Yes sir. That's what I meant. I suppose my reply did make it sound like the Petro was demo'd but that certainly wasn't what I made a feable attempt to say.

    Thanks for clearing up the mud.

    @'olhand That was a great diner, really good food.

    Just passed the boarded up Nara Vista Truck Terminal a few minutes ago. Only been trucking for the past 4 years since I did my 20 and retired from the Marines. I sure would've loved to see the old places. I prefer mom and pop places because they're generally more quiet. I still love to stop at the TTT and get Omar's apple pie ala mode.
