    I'd probably just go to Oak Grove 70 if I was in the Kansas City area. Decent enough place.

    BP (I think) in Maxton, NC is pretty bad, right across from Campbell's. Nasty, lots of nasty lizards and other undesirables hanging out there

    That place IS nasty!
    Just go down the street, under the hiway and behind the Hardees on the right. Truck parking there and no one bothers you.
