I saw something good in it. I will admit that roadside stops are often poorly planned and crumbling parking lots can get gritty, but that's just cosmetic. If someone did a really beautiful one, people would still complain about its purpose. When I was a little kid, I really looked forward to stopping at places like that when I traveled with my family.

To me, Breezewood is a delightful confection of capitalism, showing the creative vitality of trade. Although the urban sprawl folks might consider Breezewood an eyesore, to the weary traveler Breezewood is more like finding a fountain in the desert.
