Steve’s take

The Kenly 95 Petro is one of the largest truck stops on I-95 and right next to it is a tiny Tobacco Farm Life Museum that explains how North Carolina ran on tobacco for 400 years. The truck stop itself has showers, a Wendy's, an Iron Skillet, and the kind of parking lot where you realize your minivan is the smallest vehicle by a factor of ten. Real America lives at truck stops. Your kids should see one at least once.
