  #1 stop on road trip.  July 3, 2007
  
  We got a late start on our road trip, so we decided to break for lunch around 1.  Well, the only problem with eating around 1 is that we are in the middle of cnetral PA (on 76 West) and there's not much out here. So, we decide to take a random exit that has a sign for a hospital... thinking that people who work at the hopital have to eat somewhere, right? Looking for food, we follow the signs for H but turn back after a few miles of NOTHING.
  
  Right before we get back on 76W we decide to get gas $2.92 for regular) at a place that says "FOOD" on the gas station awning. The pump is slightly broken so you have to pay inside in advance (I prefer to just swipe my card at the tank, but beggars can't be choosey in the middle of central PA).  When my sister comes out, she says, "They do have food in there, you know. Like, they're making fresh hoagies and burgers and stuff." So we decide to get some food here.  She gets a turkey sub ($4.50) and I get a cheeseburger ($2) with tomato and mayo.  With a bottle of A&W and a bag of local chips (Middleswarth BBQ KET-L Chips- really sweet and not very great but for only 50 cents what do you expect?).  
  
  Not bad.  The food was good.  They put tons of turkey on the sub and my burger was hot off the grill (literally).  
  
  The bathrooms were super gross and it was in the middle of a gas station store... but otherwise not too terrible.  Also, there were tables inside (sadly, we couldn't use these since we are traveling with a cat).  Also, the people behind the counter were super friendly.  
  
  The best part about the place was that my sister is not used to central PA accents.  One of the girls behind the counter spoke in a Boomhower (King of the Hill) accent to my sister... my sister's face was priceless... right before she very loudly (rudely, and incredulously) said, "What?".
