That would be the Peppermill Casino.

those are all fine establishments.
Yer a sick puppy and deserve all them red square thingies you have.

Though...there was a time that "Leaton's Restaurant", (which is now a "Buzz Inn" steak house), there next to the J in Ellensburg, used to be the place to eat. They had an awesome Club sandwich which was made with fresh roasted turkey, their own smoked ham, and their own bacon. Exceptionally good sandwich!

Now, the friendliest Truckstop I've been to lately was the Loves in Hubbard, Pa. I hadn't even gotten my brakes set when a rather cute, well built blonde walked up and welcomed me to the establishment, wanted to know if I was lonely. Within about 2 minutes, I had 2 blondes and a brunette, all welcoming me to Pa, letting me know that all I had to do if I wanted to date one of them was holler something about "commercial" on the CB.

Hm, wonder, do you think they really were just being friendly? Somehow I don't think the "date" she was talking about had anything at all to do with dinner and a movie

That depends on your definition of 'dinner and a date'

As I sit looking all around,
Confusion and uncertainty is all I found.
The answers are there,
But I do not know where.
Optimistic and hopeful dreams,
Are all I have so it seems.
The future I do not know,
So all I can do is take it slow.
But I do know it will work out,
So I wait and watch without a doubt
