    It won't be Pilot or Ta/Petro because they have a Pilot at Channahon, 55 and US 6, and one at Minooka, and one at Morris on 80 and one at Monee on 57 right across from a Petro, and a Ta at the 112 on 80, at Morris. Locals must feel that trucks parked draw a bad element, but I really don't want to park much in Will County, anyway.

    There are places to park closer in, many that I know of and use occasionally to get enough hours back to get home, Chicago is close for me. I usually go farther away if I can when headed west on 80. Parking is not so hard to come by at Princeton.

    Heading west just past there you come into Shorewood, which is a nice town... I wouldn't want that truck stop open if I lived in that town... Idiling trucks, horns all night long, trash all over, conjestion... Uhh no

    What the people want is irrelevant, it's about who has the deep pockets.

    What the people want is what they are getting and this is to keep that truck stop from not being opened...
