    Judging what the hookers in Odessa are charging those oil company boys, those Memphis girls could retire in a few months.

    LOL--maybe so--BUT--it is one of those kind of places where(especially drivers that do not know the area)can feel relatively comfortable--and with ALL the other trucks there--the odds become better of not getting involved--course the do have NATHANS hot dogs and fries inside--and while not as good as the original stand in Coney Island--still pretty good--or maybe just because it is a childhood memory of mine--after delivering it all 3 markets in NYC w/Dad as a pup--and loading in the area--having lunch there:biggrin_25520:
    Oh and as for the Skyway--who remembers who was in the whse across the street? I coulda swore it was the original Metro area Sysco--but--buddy o mine says NO but he can't remember either--LOL

    I haven't read all of the previous 82 pages... but, if not mentioned up till now, the Key Truck Stop in Channelview, TX certainly deserves dishonorable mention; and the cherry on top is the Cheatin' Heart Saloon across the street. Also, not a truck stop but deserving of a nod and a shout-out--Mama Simone's in Fontucky, CA... "Too much monkey business!" They call me Footloose, BTW, just trippin' back down memory lane... SALUTE!!
