    Here at home on I-74 at the 149 exit, you can walk 2-3 blocks north of the Love's to IGA grocery store and Dollar General. The grocery store's fairly small but it's only a couple years old and probably has most things you'd be after. The DG has a decent supply of the basic grocery stuff too.

    The Flying J in Walton, Kentucky (exit 171 of I 75), has a Kroger on the other side of the highway. There is also a good Mexican restaurant (El Toro) in the shopping center. If you purchase something at the Kroger, you will likely find a $2 coupon on the back of the receipt. There is also a Kohl's and several other dining options.

    There's a walmart directly across the street from the pilot in pittston PA. Wouldn't recommend that pilot, though, never any parking.

    Oklahoma. I-35 exit 15. Marietta. Valero Truck Stop. Across the street is a Dollar General and Homeland Grocery Store. It is kind of a long walk, 1.5 blocks, but you can safely drop your trailer at the Valero and bobtail over there if necessary. Small town and no hassle truck stop. Marietta.JPG
