The stuff you find out on the web – without trying very hard.

I was wanting to know where that pik had been taken.

Looking up Saglik Guney a medical facility in Turkey.

Next I looked up Burger King locations in Turkey.
Who’d a thunk it?
There are over 800 Burger Kings in Turkey.

Anyway, if I was tooling along on that road I’d prolly pull in and grab a dbl cheeseburger, maybe hit the can man.

Oh yeah, that suspended-covered walkway.
Somewhere out in Montana, S Dakota, wherever, there was one of those things across I 90 and it had a restaurant in it, so I sat right in the middle and ate a big ol’ plate of 8 dippy eggz and toast.

FWIW, for breakfast at the motel he was staying at the day he was killed John Dillinger ordered up a full dozen dippy eggz and half a loaf of white toast. For reason unknown, he only ate 11 of the dippy’s but ate all 12 of the toasts.

FWIW2, Dillinger is from up the road a piece in a place called Mooresville.

I’ve been pretty hungry before, but that’s a lot of toast.

I think my max is maybe 3? Not a big fan of toast. And, if I ever ate 3 toasts it was at 3am at Denny’s and I don’t remember it. <wink>

If it wasn’t for the language …

There was a crossover with restaurant on I-80 before the I-94 cut-off near Chicago when the last segment of the highway was new (’72?); haven’t been through there for a long time – may be gone now. I’ll drive 100 miles or more out of my way to avoid getting anywhere near Chicago.

There’s an Oregon Trail museum near Kearney, Nebraska with a crossover on I-80. I don’t think it’s a restaurant though.

I always hated that section of I94 and I80 area around Chicago and Gary, IN. Like you, I avoid it at all costs, even if it means extra miles.

Chicago Southland Lincoln Oaisis. Had breakfast there with my family early Christmas morning in 2018. We had flown into Chicago Christmas eve and rented a car to drive to rural Indiana. I prefer to drive to Indiana and completly avoid Chicago, but it’s a 33 hour drive. So far I’ve made that trip 9 times by car, 3 by train and 9 by airplane. Family Christmas every even year, plus weddings and funerals and family reunions.

That’s the one. Still there I see. I think it used to be a HoJo’s restaurant (orange and turquoise?), Been mid-70s since I last stopped there.

I had a distant cousin who owned a resort in Manitowish Waters, Wi.
called Little Bohemia Lodge (he was Bohemian). John Dillinger & some
of his gang hid out there one week-end to the detriment of one or two
of the gov. agents who went after him.. If you go to the resort, which is
still operating, you can still see the bullet holes.

Don’t know why my text sets up like that.
