Ha! I grew up in Davenport, 15 min away from this gigantic eyesore. It's not so bad actually...but I drive by it all the time and it just keeps growing.

we always try to avoid it on the way home to see the family because of the insane amount of traffic going in and going out of it.

This place really isn't all that interesting sadly. It's just a food court and a store which seems very spread out on purpose and the items in the store are just the things you would find and not buy in most truck stops. Also, there is only one non-trucker men's bathroom with only four stalls.

I just drove by this place when I was on vacation in Iowa (yes, I know, how sad to take a vacation in Iowa!). I noticed they are online too -- Iowa80 dot com. They sell rubby ducky hood ornaments -- who knew??

Another truck stop of note is Little America, in Cheyenne, WY. It has it's own 9-hole, par-3 golf course. Dave Donelson, author of Heart of Diamonds
