    Any place in memphis is bad, what are you doing down there lol.

    As a fun fact, I have been trying to pry the memphis story out of one of my relatives who refuse to even look anywhere near that place from his time at war in Korea. I suppose secrets like that should be buried with him, but I would love to hear the story at least once. It must be something.

    As far as the clubs go, certain ones are better than others. Much more classy. But what do I know?

    You hear bad things about that Loves and the Loves at Tacoma, Wa. W memphis was a Pilot and Tacoma was a Flying J. They were just as bad back then.

    I used to stop at the DQ all the time on my way out. Can't say I ever noticed the restrooms being worse than any other public restroom.

    I saw 3 backing accidents there within 30 minutes. The parking there is insanely tight. It was obviously built when trucks and trailers were much shorter.

    Pilot on SE 285 in Atlanta what a ####hole. Dirty bathrooms and 50/50 chance of either getting robbed on your way walking in or your truck broken into

    In the old days ,
    The big A truck stop in Atlanta , that place gave crap holes a bad name , roaches crawling in and out of the buffet .
    The old Laredo truck stop , way back when it was the only one , there were potholes in the parking lot you could lose a truck in , they had that nasty dive bar inside and the bath rooms were unusable

    There’s a place out in Grantsville MD, on US-219 just above I-68 on the left. I haven’t been out there in years, but the one time I did stop in there I was graced with the absolute nastiest coffee anyone ever had.

    The Key truck stop in Channelview was always a thrill a minute plus the Silver Spur down in The Valley was pretty entertaining.
