It is crazy the amount of new stuff in just last 5 years. Growing up in Ruston in the 80’s it seemed like years between new stuff.

Grew up hunting what is now the Parish Park. Some beautiful woods. Good friend of mine who runs the park has done a great job with the bike trails and such.

Hotrods was GOAT for me in Ruston back then
Hotrods was always great, but Dowlings was the best BBQ in my opinion. When they were in that little shack on Cooktown Rd. where the Hobby Lobby is now.

6-8 years ago the Buccees in Terral TX was about the only thing on that exit. Now there is like 3 hotels, a Lowes, a movie theater, a Longhorn Steakhouse, a Chick Fil A, a Whataburger, a Starbucks, a Canes, a Freddy's Burgers, and even more than that with new buildings still being built.
That's interesting, because the ones I drive past on I-10 and around Houston aren't like that at all. Maybe because they really were there so long. For example, the Luling one. It was one of the first and one of the largest for a long time and there is still nothing there.
I haven't driven that stretch of I-20 in 30 years. However, I would guess that the growth isn't strictly because of Buccees. Terrell is a growing town and the Buccees was the direction of it's growth.

Mayor of Ruston officially announces Buccees is coming to Ruston
I'm not sure what's more disturbing. The mania of it coming to Ruston or the fact that it is coming to Ruston.

I loved Dowling’s before it was on Cooktown. It was in a tiny little buildings off north service road near Commerce Street, NW corner of 33 and I20, sort of west of the new gas travel center. Seems like maybe in their front yard as there was a brick house behind it. Somehow didn’t seem the same when it moved to Cooktown. I think maybe that was after the original Mr. Dowling retired or passed away.

Who gives a flying fck. Bunch of white people running around like their heads are cut off and then post on FB about it. Pathetic
I feel like white people are winning when the most racist and stereotypical thing you can say about them is that they have a weird affinity towards clean gas stations.

It’s an 84 acre plot and bucees is only supposed to take 30 of that. The mayor did mention more shopping centers coming around it. Terrell has had a lot build around it, but I’ve also noticed that many don’t.

IMO its not nearly as good now. Hot Rods is a better BBQ place overall.

I loved Buccees back in the 90s on the way to Galveston before they became a destination. Cheap Ice and Clean bathrooms. Now I never even think about stopping at one. It is too much of a spectacle now and I just want gas and to go to the bathroom

It would. McKinney needs some competition

No alcohol will be served. For sure.
What is Buccees gonna do with all the extra cooler space?
