Message:: [QUOTE="Ex-Trucker Alex, post: 12354030, member: 340432"]I remember back in the mid-late 80's, there used to be what could sorta be considered a truckstop right in the city of Cleveland. It was down in the riverside flats, and the story was it was the location used to be one of the first gasoline refineries (Standard oil, circa late 1890's?), which had been torn down, and the area had been 'cleaned up'. For those unfamiliar with Cleveland and it's old refineries, back in the 1930's, this area was so polluted that the Cuyahoga river actually caught fire a few times..... Anyway, there were fuel islands, a shop, and a diner, although I think they were separately owned and run. Probably enough parking for about 100 trucks, though, right inside the city. It was certainly handy for drivers waiting for loads, but the area was 'sketchy' at best, and it was pretty far away from the interstate. Does this place still exist? If so, what is it called?[/QUOTE]
