I admit, I’m rather a connoisseur of convenience stores. I’m not really sure how it happened but I love a big, brightly lit truck-stop or gas-station/restaurant/coffee-shop/shopping mall/tourist trap. Gas stations were all pretty boring back when they were, you know, places where you mainly purchased gas.
I love your way of looking at things. Your enormous talent makes stories about even convenience stores fun to read! Thank you for sharing your interesting perspectives!
Thank you Diane! The world is an interesting place and there's no shortage of material for a writer who is willing to look. I miss seeing you when I call respiratory!
ooohhh...Buc-ces.....just drove to Orange beach and now (to my excitement) there is a new one in Northern Alabama....so I have now 2 stainless steel mecca bathrooms to go to...(not to mention snacks,drinks, and smoked meat....yum.......). And I know of the truck stop in southern Indiana to which you make reference--though now there are THREE there...
Ooooh there are still small gas stations in some places that have restrooms that make you think you’d be better off finding a tree to hide behind down the road, lol. Quik Trip is my favorite, especially if it is a newer updated one.
One thing my husband and I always look for when trying to find a place to stop and refuel the car and ourselves is how many cars are in the parking lot, or semi trucks. And if there are highway patrol cars it’s hands down a great place to eat, lol.

Three! What a paradise! I had no idea there was a Buccee's in Northern AL! That's glorious.
