    I've never had any trouble there. I always try to park outside the loop whenever possible but if I have to stop there it's a much better choice than either one of the pilots there on the loop.

    I saw that episode of cops too. Knew immediately where it was. No surprise there.

    Wasn't it called the Blue Flame Lounge? Not that I would go there but I was just checking my memory bank.

    Young grasshopper, you never had the pleasure of experiencing the old TA in Atlanta. You'd definitely want to kiss the Atlanta Petro if you spent any time there.

    I will give them props for one thing, the TA employees found my lost wallet and mailed it back to Stevens Transport intact.
     
    BoyWander and B Trucking Thank this.

    I've never had any problems there, but you just don't go across the street.

    I remember when it was the "Big A". Can you say "fun times" ? I saw that episode of COPS too. Dumm driver, middle of the afternoon, buying dope from a local as if it was a candy bar from the "C" store. :whax:
