Christmas Eve
Pocomoke Truck Stop
Traveling up Route 13 on Saturday I found progress had been made on removing the old Pocomoke truck stop.
A comment on an earlier post stated that this was once known as C & D Truck Stop and owned by Duke Conway and Al Duncan.
The original burned (probably) around 1960 and was replaced and was the most modern truck stop on the East Coast.
"It featured showers and bunks for truck drivers and a small store selling maps, truck geegaws and anything else the modern driver required. During potato season it was a very busy place with hundreds of trucks pulling in and out daily....." Since potato season is in the spring that left the rest of the year, when regardless of the farming season, truckers flocked there.

ReplyDeleteLOL-And here I thought you were referring to the Pocomoke Tattler until I read the rest of the post.
