You know, as someone who grew up in the suburban areas west of Lansing,
and passed by this Stuckey's dozens of times (back when it existed) on
the way up to the cottage in Pentwater, I must say that it freaks me out
to know that I actually ate at this Stuckey's a couple of times, a long
long time ago.
Weird. It's like it's a past incarnation. It doesn't quite seem "real"
anymore.
i mean.....putting a restaurant in the happening burg of EAGLE (pop.
150)?
It has been de facto superseeded by the Tommy's Place in Portland (open
24 hours), for whatever that's worth.

I cannot imagine how the would have had a government monopoly. ISTR that
they were just the pioneers in on-highway food service. Prices were
high, food was poor, and service non existent does seem to be my
recollection, too. That's one of the reasons that others kicked them.
There's still one on eastbound I-10 at around the 825 milepost (just west of
Winnie and the Texas 73 split towards Port Arthur)...at least it was there
back in October.

I remember Stuckey's, though I've never been to Michigan ;)
There's one in Arkansas along I-40 at Plumerville (AR 92)that is a
Texaco c-store. Used to be a Total before that.
There's another near Doolittle, MO along I-44 that's abandoned.
I think there's another on I-44 just east of Joplin (County Road
100?)that is also abandoned. There's a Sunshine gas sign out front you
can see from the interstate.
There's a Stuckey's in Brinkley that's inside an Exxon c-store.
For the record, the closest Stuckeys to New York City, I believe, is the one
in Shartlesville PA (I-78) which was still in operation two months ago.

Butler NJ
I-69 at Jonesville Rd (exit 16) is now a Lion's Den adult bookstore.
This is just north of the city of Coldwater.
They did not have a complete monopoly.
I remember a similar chain called Nickerson Farms which, IIRC,
featured white A-frame buildings. Some of these old buildings are
still out there, but I have not seen a working NF since 1978.

There's one of those in Tennessee along I-40 about 30 min east of Memphis.

I'm not sure, but it seemed like there was one at one time at the I-75
north Holly exit (Grange Hall Rd., exit #101). I KNOW there was a St.
Julian wine outlet there for a while, & now it's something else, but
it seemed like that building was in the shape of a former Stuckey's;
please note it's been a year since I've been that far up on I-75, so
it's kind of a vague notion, but yes, it seems there was one in Holly.

There is still a Stuckey's west of Richmond, Indiana, on I-70 at Exit
145. It's inside a Dairy Queen store; DQ handles all the Stuckey's
transactions as well (as in sharing the cash registers). I ate there
August 19 as a matter of fact.
There was another Stuckey's in Indiana at I-65 Exit 130 (IN 334) outside
of Zionsville (between Indianapolis and Lebanon), but it was closed when
I went by February 17.
Dammit, Bobby, you aren't the mtr police, so just stop it. You started
a thread, some people answered. Some of those answers were beyond the
bounds of your original question. Instead of insulting those respond-
ants and the mtr community in general, just IGNORE those other posts
and go on with your life. I know you have a hard time moving past those
posts which just, for whatever reason, NEED to have responses ranging
from "yuck" (thanks for your input, there) to calling someone you've
never met a "sphincter," but give it a try. People here will be MUCH
less annoyed and may stop ignoring/killfiling anything with the word
"peacock" in it. After the recent drought of posts from you, I had
hoped you'd come back here with a better attidude and maturity level.
Please take this under advisement and maybe you'll someday become a
respected participant in this discussion.
Anyway, I recall eating in a Stuckey's in Ohio once as a child. I
cannot say the food was memorable, but I still may have the postcard
I hought there, oh so many years ago...
Thanks for reading,

Heh... Martin is the name of the city. Marathon is the brand of gasoline.
And some Martin gas stations still exist, I just don't know where.

C'mon Bobby you can come up with a better excuse than that...I mean if you
said you were constipated...I may believe it a lil more
On the other hand, the former Stuckey's at Pelahatchie, Miss. (I-20
Exit 68) is a modern Conoco Super Stop. The late owner of the chain
bought it, renovated it, added a car wash and a truck wash. But the
prices of gas is expensive in comparison to the Flying J, Petro etc.
in Jackson. Coincidentaly, one of Super Stop's competitors built a
Chevron Stuckey's Express next door.
Yes I do. I see children act like you do every day at work. Want to
guess what type of attitude starts fights? I drive a bus if you haven't
picked that up before. It's painted a nice shade of yellow. Most of
the suspensions for inappropriate conduct go to middle school aged children.
If I was you, I would learn how to use the delete key on that keyboard of
yours. I'm guessing your long absence from this group was the result of
either unhappy parents or an unhappy Internet provider. At the rate you
are going again, we won't be seeing you for awhile very shortly.

Well, last I checked, there was one near Orange TX on IH-10, and
I think that is around 870. At any rate it is the FM 1136 exit
westbound. It was up for sale, and might not be open. I am going
back in February, and will double-check.

> And also, why do you have to put six spaces after every sentence?!
Because Mr. Outen can. The 37th Amendment to the Constutition of the
United States states thusly:
AMENDMENT XXXVII: Congress shall make no laws prohibiting Dave Outen
from putting six spaces after every sentence he types.
Dammit, Bobby (I haven't said that since Saturday...), if Dave wants
to put sixty-two spaces after every letter he types, so be it. If you
can't stand it, either ignore it or call the Farmington Hills Police
Department, William J. Dwyer, Chief of Police, at their business number
(248) 474-6181, or in case you're deaf, which is an accusation some
here may be quick to make, you can use their TDD line at (248) 473-9620.
You can tell the fine men and women in blue of your plight and see if
they'll pull Mr. Outen's large, yellow limousime over and take him into
custody. (Dave, himeself, might want to jot down the Detective Juvenile
Section's number at (248) 473-9666.)
Ya'll all have a nice day, now, ya hear?

That one's been gone for some time, as is the one that was right across the
freeway from the existing one just west of Winnie on I-10...and Orange is
only 25 miles from Beaumont, but you've got Vidor, Rose City, and about
twelve miles of the worst washboard road I've ever driven in the right lane
(in both directions, to boot). :-)

Personally, by responding at such length I think you're giving Bobby way
too much credit for being whatever it is that he's being (be it stupid
or inane or trolling or obnoxious or whatever).
For a typical 15 year old male that likes to piss off substitute

I think Bobby's life ambition is to get placed on the Michigan Sex

He probably meant "nuggie" aka "dutch rub" aka rubbing your fist very roughly
across someone's skull.

I think he meant 'pulling up the back of your underpants until they are
starting to tear around the crotch' which goes by a variety of names.

Sorry, should have flagged that as a (somewhat) "obvious sarcasm", an
