This service plaza is one of the more interesting ones as it contains a lot of Turnpike…read morememorabilia. Long before the Turnpike became a way for the state to extract money from travelers to pay for continuous "improvements" and to fund other non-Turnpike related agencies and items, it was a super highway allowing fast, safe travel across the commonwealth. The Midway plazas were unique because they were across from one another and there's a tunnel that runs under the road that joins them; this tunnel has long been closed to the public. Anyway, if you have time, it's fun to look at the pictures that adorn this plaza and also to check out the items in the gigantic display case that celebrate the creation and history of this road.

Traveling home to D.C. from Pittsburgh, we stopped at this service plaza. As we walked up to it, we…read morenoticed all the trash cans overflowing with trash. The inside is grungy and dirty, including the restrooms and sitting areas. They do have a 7/11, Starbucks, and a few other food options.

With the start of the Lone Ranger as a regular radio show, this became a place to fill up the tank. Also with new president FDR starting his Fireside Chats, customers could fill up here and listen on the road. Not so much music yet, as Quincy Jones was just born, but that will come later. Cars with radios were gaining popularity, but so was air travel as the all-metal Boeing 247 took flight, but it wouldn't be filling up here. Nor would the vehicle that set the land speed record in Daytona Beach at 272 MPH. Try that on the roads of Bedford and you'd probably end up in the Juniata River. With Johnny Unitas being born just down the road in Pittsburgh, this service station would be a good spot to fill up on his journey to Baltimore a few years later. Football would be his game, even though the first baseball all-star game was played in Chicago. Speaking of Football, the Steelers played their first game and only scored a Safety against the Giants. The Giants would make it to the first NFL Championship game, but lose to... Da' Bears, who created a dance called "The first NFL Championship Shuffle", without a Punky QB though. The state liquor stores also started the same year in PA and still exist almost 90 years later. I would imagine one of my ancestors filled up here driving from store to store looking for that rare bottle. Nobody was filling up Nissans or Datsuns though, as that company started at the end of 1933 and didn't quite make it to Western PA yet John Dillinger also started his bank robbing career, and would need more and more gas stations to fill up. Another bank robber, Pretty Boy Floyd caused the Kansas City Massacre, which would eventually be connected to Bedford, PA with the Interstate Highway system. It's a far cry from what's happening in Germany with that country becoming a single-party state under the Nazi Party. God Bless America, right? TLDR: A lot happened in 1933!

Basically your new, flashy, huge gas station in the area. When you have to reconfigure the road…read morethrough the area to allow for such a behemoth you know they were serious when they were building this thing. Basically this is a gas station on steroids. They built this thing to compete with other chains that have a stronger foothold in the area. I have been to a few Rutter's before, but this one just seems different. I'm not sure why when these are built that they have to gigantic. I suppose they are aiming for all the truck traffic that goes through this corridor, and that is the reason they reconfigured the road to allow easier access. When I say this thing is huge I am not exaggerating. The inside is vast and has an expanse of items to choose from. They have their own take on their made-to-order food, I did not partake. When I was there they were still in the process of fully opening up. It appears that this place will have a gaming parlor. You know, just like every other gas station in the state now, they will have skills game. Unnecessary? Yes, but it seems to be the norm everywhere in the state of PA now. After stretching my legs and using the facilities I found an item and made my way to the register to pay. Not sure if it is like this at all Rutter's, but I had a loyalty card forced on me. Not that I needed one, but I got one. It was just kind of shoved on me, even though I really didn't need one. Overall, because this is brand new it gets high stars, but over time I feel like this is going to slide a bit.

Recently they did a teardown and rebuild of this location which still remains on the busy, turnpike alternative, Route 30. Somehow they were able to accomplish making this feel larger. I mean it does not feel anything like the way it did just a few months ago. It is like they elongated the lot. I'm not sure if the number of pumps changed, but they are all in a row which makes it easier to pull in and right up to a pump. Parking is ample and I suggest parking to the one side of the building. Sometimes it makes for an easy entrance. Especially if you are in need of the facilities, which I am while driving through. The facilities are right inside this set of doors. Inside, it feels much like a truck stop. Wider aisles, dedicated area for food ordering/eating, bigger selection. This location is set up with all the new toys, self checkouts included. Selection is great if you are looking for a snack or drink. Employees are great. Always seem to be lively and up for a chat with all the passing people on the highways. Just because you may have bypassed the turnpike doesn't get you out of the competition on the roads.

This sits at the intersections of US Route 30 and PA Route 56, two pretty major roads for PA, but at an intersection where it feels underwhelming. Like many Coen Markets, they offer Amoco fuel, which was my main reason for pulling in here. I was on E and I needed fuel as quick as I could get it. I pulled in and had to drive through the lot once before spotting a pump that was open. I finally found an open pump and no sooner than I had gotten out of my vehicle did someone pull up behind me. I hadn't even gotten the pump off the stand and they started to turn inpatient. OK, I can read a situation, I purposefully went slower. I literally just got to the pump, you more than likely saw me get to the pump, try one of the other five pumps available. I can't speak to the inside of this location as I wasn't feeling the need to go inside. What I can say is that not only do you have a Coen Market and Amoco, but you also get Bestway Pizza. A regional chain that is a favorite among the area. Gas prices are comparative for the area. Not always the cheapest as they take advantage of their location at the intersection.
