The last remaining structure that once was called the Bobber Truck Stop was taken down Wednesday morning. This closes a chapter in Interstate 70 history that began right after the birth of the interstate.
The last remaining structure that once was called the Bobber Truck Stop was taken down Wednesday morning. This closes a chapter in Interstate 70 history that began right after the birth of the interstate.
On Labor Day, 2011, the Bobber closed its doors for the last time after half a century of business and being a landmark in the Boonville area and a favorite place to many interstate travelers.
Originally known as The Windmill, it used to be the only truck stop between Columbia and Kansas City.
Once more buildup of the interstate occurred the Bobber steadily lost business, especially the last several years of its existence, which prompted its closure.
The main structure was torn down in early 2012 after an auction was held in early January to sell off all merchandise and items of the former cafe.
On Wednesday, the last remaining building was torn down that was part of the original layout. Plans are underway to develop the property
