DC has Royal Farms, right?

We do in the Southern suburbs, and I know they have them in Maryland (but mostly outside of the beltway).

There's a Wawa in Tenleytown, right by the Metro. There used to be one in Georgetown on Wisconsin Avenue, but it closed!

Apparently there are a few downtown, also. A friend said there's one near Metro Center on H Street, and another at Thomas Circle.

Even more inconvenient than Woodbridge!

It's not just a wawa or sheetz that's a pain in the ash.

If you're up inside the Beltway and headed out of town (like to Fredericksburg, for example), there's basically no place to stop if you've got to pee. Gas stations are all sketchy at best, maybe with a "Paying customers only!" bathroom for which you must get the key from the attendent.

If you're driving through DC down 95, you better find a bathroom before the Beltway, or hold it until you get basically to the Dale City rest stop.

I live right across the Wilson Bridge from National Harbor, and driving south on 95 as we do a lot, I always tell my kids that, if they don't go at the rest stop near Laurel, they'll have to hold it until we get home, some 40 miles. Especially if we cut through the city on 295.

A group of like eight of us were coming home from the Maryland Ren Fest a few years ago and pulled into the Springfield Bed Bath and Beyond - still all costumed up - to use the bathroom.

I'm certain the employees were confused.

Back in my drinking days, I'd take the Metro downtown to hit the bars. On the way home, I'd always get off at National Airport for a bathroom break.

Always amazed me that the airport was the MOST convenient place to stop.

When I drive down to Richmond from Fairfax via the county parkway and 123, a convenience store in Occoquan is always the last stop before hitting 95. Bathroom, then the soda fountain, and on to the I-64 interchange!

Got the shock of my life last month. There's a Cumberland Farms in Gulf Shores, Ala. Still kinda regret not stopping to see what it's about.

I forgot that I was in the ones by Metro Center and in the West End. We're practically awash with downtown Wawas.

Would it kill them to put one in Alexandria?

I broadcast a football game at VMI once. The Corps of Cadets marching into the stadium was pretty cool.
Luray Caverns is time well spent.
Sheetz ash. Get a Buc-ee's.

Three Sheetz and six Wawa within a five minute drive from my living room.

They're building a Buc-ee's in New Kent, between Richmond and Williamsburg.
