    when ever i am in that part of maryland, i park there. i will be there this coming monday night. gotta delivery of carpet tuesday morning in lothian md.

    i havent had any problems there either, and i have been using that as my rest spot in MD for a while now. pull in, get the needed amount of fuel to park, and then its all good.

    Maybe someone already mentioned this...i dont remember if it was jessup or baltimore but one of them had a nightclub downstairs several years ago until someone got shot. Not that it really matters but there it is.

    Seeing a lot of the bad, but not enough of the good T/S. I like the Grand Island Bosselman's, Jubitz in Portland, and the Iowa 80 in Walcott.

    Well considering there are probably a couple thousand (who knows?) truck stops in the US, how would anyone know this?

    It would probably be safe to say that the inner city, bad neighborhoods would be worse than the ones out in the country, so to speak.

    No matter where you are, you should always be aware of your surroundings, and remember crime can happen anywhere.

    You like where the movie theatres are.:) We used to go to Jubitz a lot. Good food, movies, dog park at the end of the street.

    Prescott Ar, T/A worst restaurant I ever encounter. Parking lot is Hugh, just watch out for craters. Rip Griffin used to own it. Nasty restrooms and low pressure in showers. Clerks are not friendly.
