Well, I'm about two hours removed from where I-95 meets North Carolina, a route that I've never driven personally until I went to Duel on the Delaware. (I've been in the car on family trips and the like as a youngster, but I usually find myself taking I-95 South to go to all of the various Florida events.) Somehow, I managed to avoid actually pulling off the road for some twenty years, until a certain nut case in an umbrella hat suggested it.

And sadly, it does seem like the reports at the bottom of that roadsideamerica.com article have some truth to them--the place does seem a little rough around the edges. Might be the end-of-summer slump (and we didn't really do much while there), but I can't say for sure.
