Unusual Truck Stop/Business Combos

It's long gone, but the old Hawkeye truckstop in Iowa City was half truckstop and half Harley dealership, always liked stopping there to drool on the bikes!

I can't remember where the truckstop in Kansas in that has a bunch of old Triumphs on display, but I don't think they were for sale.

 

I was outside Ocala, FL, and out of hours on a fumbled Target load.

Ran down to the nearest truckstop called "Forks". It was a fuel shop with a small deli that served burgers and biscuits. However, the odd part was that they also operated a small tanning salon tucked into the back of the building.

 

Stopped at Russells in NM Tuesday. They have alot of old cars on display. Mile marker 369 on I 40.

 

A "small tanning salon" eh.
Wondering if they had a side business (cathouse, massage parlor?)

 

Seemed pretty on level to me. They had a pretty nice gravel parking lot, but store policy didn't require shoes, nor shirts for service, so I wasn't too keen on anything other than getting some iced tea and getting back out to my truck to hide, it being the dead of August.

I was learning the accent at the time, so picking up subtleties was beyond me.

I still don't know what a babby is, or why the barefoot locals used it so much in conversation.

 

Cafe Risque in Florida, Topless restaurant

Pornshop south of Rochester MN on I90.

 

They also have a location on I-25 MM 419, decent resturant, subway, c-store, old cars on display.
