Buc-ee's

[simme]

What part of Virginia you headed to? While Kenny is the coolest and best looking of all us Virginia members there are several of us scattered around the state.

I have no desire to be traveling any part of 95 this weekend. You boys travel safe.

Harrisonburg. 85, 77 and 81. No 95, but probably still have some traffic.

What my little area needs is a good gas station fried chicken...

FINE dinning at it's best.... Bout the best fried chicken around here comes from Brookshires, the grocery store. $10 a bird all fried up and waiting for you.

81 is always a pain. Farmerjan is just off 81 at exit 205 I think

I am southeast of there about 1 1/2 hrs. but like Kenny says you drive right by Farmerjan and there are several others not far from there. Harrisonburg is a pretty area especially if you get out of town a little ways. Enjoy your visit and holler if you need anything.

I hope Kenny is safe on the road.

5,000 pounds of chicken guts slosh onto North Carolina highway

Sounds like an opportunity for a free meal

Not yet. Monday night

I think Sheetz are only in West VA, Virginia and North Carolina. But they are expanding.

My cousin is a diesel mechanic at the local Freightliner place, and says he sees more trouble with trucks that use Sheetz fuel than any other big chain. Take that for what you will.

Buc-ee's to build world's largest convenience store in Tennessee

Oh heck yes.

 

[sstterry]

Oh heck yes.

Just around the corner from me. I think it is on that large vacant area at 407.

Edit to be clear to those that may not know, it will be about 40 minutes from me.

It will be on my list to stop every time I pass. But it will probably be 2 years before it's open

Ole boy started out of Lake Jackson with one small store.
He put together a business model that was a huge success. He pays employees well and it shows in service.

They also don't put up with local "shakedown politicians ". Crooks in Louisiana thought they had em over a barrel when they tried to open a store there. They sold the land at a loss and told em "up yours" will go elsewhere

It will be welcomed by the Eastern Band of Cherokee Tribe. They will be adding more stores in the same area. It's where you get off I-40 to go to Dollywood and Smokey Mountain National Park. Some days the traffic at the exit is several miles long.

It's not like they need somewhere to invest that casino money

I'm pretty sure they are getting paid back now for how they have been treated in the past. And they deserve it

Crooks in Louisiana? You jest!
That might be the only place in the USA could rival Chicago politics.
