This is the American Gothic. If you’ve never been to the USA, this image sums it up pretty well.

#I feel like I’ve driven past this before#been exactly here#but at the same time I’m not sure

Same, actually.

I see like 8+ restaurants in one phoTO??? OmG 

Welcome to ‘Merca. Buy our shit or get the FUCK out.

This is directly off an interstate exit, for all those travelers who want food and gas. Next couple of blocks likely has several hotels.

Adding to the above because I 100% recognize this place and it’s somewhat interesting for a road guy like me.

This is exit 161 on the Pennsylvania Turnpike in Breezewood, where I-70 meets I-76 (the turnpike).

It’s special because here, I-70′s freeway going north suddenly stops and all the traffic is dumped onto US-30 for a short distance before turning back around and merging with I-76.

Literally the best place to open up some rest stop shops!

Interstates are not supposed to use surface roads along their route, much less have things like stores on the side or intersections with traffic signals. It’s rather rare, and this is one of the more famous of the freeway gaps. Another one being the entrance to the Holland Tunnel on the NJ side (I-78).

Funfact: The gap can obviously be fixed, but business owners in Breezewood would prefer not to lose all those potential customers literally driving to their doorstep. Thus, the gap remains. Murica!
