Is this it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carl's_Corner,_Texas?

Does it still exist?

As "Carl's Corner Truck Stop and Cabaret"? No. It hasn't in more than fifteen years. As a Petro truck stop with a convenience store, a Dunkin' Donuts and a restaurant? Well, it did the last time I drove by. The town of Carl's Corner still exists, though.

Bus stopped there once on the way home from a school field trip. They didn’t let us go near the double doors, but the bathroom was full of porn mags.

That's what I was thinking. It was an interesting place.

I meant it as a throwaway comment. Now you guys are forcing me to remember the details and I'm coming up short.

I'm going back through my old tearsheets looking for the article. I remember the place was just off I20 west of DFW, perhaps near Abilene. IIRC, the press junket flew into Abilene to drive to it. It was a converted grain processing facility with three huge grain silos visible from the highway. Each silo had a giant red "X" on it. As signage, it was epic that the silos were visible in time for truckers to exit the freeway and pay the place a visit.

More info coming if I can find it.

I remember those silos! I never stopped there though.
