Travel America
East St Louis, Illinois

Nice location for this truckstop just 4 miles from the Arch across the river!  Easy $10 taxi ride to the center of downtown. :)

When I started coming here years ago, the parking lot was pitch dark and had lots of "undesirables" walking around pestering drivers for money or "other services".  Then they changed the light bulbs and the place was nice and bright!  The disturbances all left!  But I rolled in here last night and the parking lot is totally pitch black again, and yup, the "problems" have returned as well. 

This truckstop has a Taco Bell inside, and always good, fresh coffee.  I have never had anything less than a friendly smile from any of the cashiers:)

3 Stars.
