Funny when you are so close to something, you sometimes don't think of it as a picture place. These are neat shots, and I really like the ketchup shot, though I doubt our place has them, I think they are down to those yukky pouches. The Chevron Station/Truck stop, by the way, has some of the best fried catfish in town. I try to make a pass by there once a month at least. We have several good restaurants, but none of them can fix catfish better than the cook at this gas station. Go figure.
