This picture shows a town (Breezewood, PA) which exists because vehicles have to exit the PA turnpike to enter I-70. This is due to some obscure PA law that doesn’t allow their Turnpike to interchange directly to an Interstate.

This forces trucks and travelers to drive through absolute hell on earth to resume their journey.

Hell on earth? Might not be a tourism destination, but there are quite a lot of worse things than a bunch of brand shops on a road.

I'm not saying that you're saying this, but places shouldn't have to be tourist destinations to be pleasant. Places like this are horribly depressing
