Actually, the closest thing would be a combination of a very nice Love's and the Blandford rest area on the Masspike. Those rest areas defined what a rest area should be for me, and the move from CT to CO introduced me to "rest areas" that are pull-offs to park in (with maybe a vending machine) and the need to leave the highway for gas and restrooms. Down here in the southwest it's at least usually just a quick hop onto the service road, but just for a junky gas station most of the time. Buc'ees is the exemplar of the ideal.

Most of those "right-sized" (I guess) gas stations also don't have enough off-pump parking, so you wind up being a shower tote one way or the other while you go inside. Terrible all around.

Really? What's wrong with it? The other one on the Masspike I use is Lee, but those are very close together and I just pick one. No other Masspike rest areas on my route between Albany and CT, but those two blow away whatever's available at other parts of the drive.

This bridge is crazy. Wonder if it's bicycle-friendly?

One of the nice thing about Buc-ee's is that they do not allow truck rigs on the property. They are not truck stops.

That makes that Crossville station even worse, as like a quarter of traffic on I-40 is trucks.
