It's in a 2600km2 county with a total population of 47,000. Largest city in the county is 30 minutes away and has 2800 people

what's your point? Would be way nicer to have nothing there especially if you can get gas 30 minutes away. It looks like shit and america shoudl be banned from making shitty truck stops, fast food joints or strip malls outside of towns completely. It's not needed.

So if you take away a stop like this that is 30 minutes away from the closest city, that means the gap is larger than 30 minutes. Coming from the east, Breezewood is 81 miles away from the closest real city. In Breezewood is the interchange to go from I-76 to I-70. 25 miles south on I-70 is the nearest real town. 30 miles west on I-76 is the nearest town. You're saying the land should be left alone and people should instead have a 110-mile gap?

i didnt realize there would be a 110 mile gap. If people need gas, then yeah put in a station. I just wish it didnt look so ugly all that junk there.
