A fading star on the trail between the US and Canada. Once more popular with truckers and cheap food enthusiasts, it seems to continue a very gradual slide out of relevance with all of the travel plazas screaming for attention with Starbucks, Cinnebun, and whatever else. Does it matter though? I wonder. Gas is still cheaper here than nearby, the feel is about authentic as it gets, and the food is what Waffle House used to have in the good 'ol days. I like the sleepy open 24 hours ambiance, the dusty gravel parking lot, and the staff that calls you honey, sweetie, or dear. What happened to these places? Are we really better off feeling like we never even left home at the mega travel plazas? I don't think so, but apparently I'm increasingly alone in this.
