Heading for Dallas. Parking at the Flying J in the AM. Any EO's going to be there?

Better to say job well done THAN say well said.

There should be plenty of prostitutes, panhandlers and drug dealers to entertain you.

Don't forget thieves and muggers.

If you are an adrenaline junkie just go skydiving or bungee jumping, no need to stay at a Dallas truck stop.

Going to Dent. Is there a better place to go? Where would that be?

If you are going to Denton, TX there is a T/A right near there. There is also a Pilot about 30 miles towards Fort Worth. Much safer and cleaner than the J in Dallas.

I believe the J in Dallas is where I got to witness a 300 lb man change clothes in the parking lot...ewww, the horror!

Yep! Pilot out toward Texas Motor Speedway is actually pretty decent!

I would think that if you are an adrenaline junkie, the Dallas Flying J would be far superior to skydiving or bungee jumping.

The Denton TA has a privately run steakhouse. Very nice... especially their breakfast.

You've never tried to sleep [in the front lot] when the race is over, and all the young race fans show up in their own fastmobiles - the party goes on for quite awhile.
On the plus side, there's a wonderful Mexican restaurant [Mercado Juarez] at exit 53 on 35W, with room for S/T parking. The carnitas are excellent.

Ya know, My wife and I have been doing this business for over 4 years now and have been waked or bothered by prostitutes 3 times. We like to stay at the J in dallas on IH 20.. find it to be as good as most and plenty better than others. They also have Shorepower service which saves us money, even over an APU. I also think that if you find a 300lb man changing his clothes you should probably avert your eyes and not watch... just saying. He obviously managed to pay no attention to you watching him, maybe you should have asked him what his secret is that he has such ability..
