When you started, it wasn't kerosene, it was known as (coal oil)When I started driving we had to bring our own kerosene for the headlamps!

The 1970s? man , you guys are old!
Yes, both are still there. Blue Colony at exit 10 in CT is also a good stop.
PS - One waitress at I84 Diner is the same gal who was a waitress at Gateway Diner in Kingston back in Maislin days in the 1970's.

Holy cow, you knew her too?
Triplex with triples.
She the one that did a stint at the Bridgeport Flyer too?
And Pal's in Mahwah also.
Yes both are 84 diner not to truck friendly any more ,crowdedAre the diners still open at exits 6 & 12? Airport Diner and the 84 Diner. I remember when the 84 Diner opened up, I was one of the first truckers to stop there. Young Tony would pull up a seat at the table and shoot the breeze with us. It was good times.

Do you remember an old furniture lumper, worked out of Mahwah, named Joe? He had a room at the truck stop and ate all his meals at Pal’s. He was pretty much wore out in the late 80’s. Used to give him a days pay as navigator.
84 is still OK 99% of the time. Long boxes turn in the lot and back in to the west edge and when I go with a set I do the u-turn and park on the left edge facing out. Easy to check for room coming down the ramp.
