It seems like they are demolishing the gas station and restaurant. It was such an eyesore!

i echo the sentiment. not to nitpick, but because, in that location, it makes a significant amount of sense to have one. there are a few others within a mile of 24th but there is an incredible amount of interstate traffic that is well served by them all. anything else wouldnt 'fit' for how it is zoned and what exists already. had it been on a major road that wasnt adjacent to other stops & inexpensive hotels, i could see the justification for something more appealing and/or significant.

Meh, at least it'll probably be nicer.

With all the changes to the interstate, I was hoping the truck stops were going to move to a different location as this would be the section of the new interstate where you can bypass CB
