The point when North Main Street turns into Wilson Boulevard and crosses over I-20 never seems to prosper for some reason. Or at least so it seems with it having lost Denny's<\/a>, Gaz-Bah<\/a> and Pizza Hut<\/i>.<\/p>\n

I suspect the Pizza Hut<\/i> was one of those brand-destroying kiosk type locations and probably no big loss, but I used to notice the sign when I lived in Aiken, and would travel I-20 west many weekends. I thought I was familar with most Columbia Pizza Huts<\/i> and could never quite place where it was, as I was expecting a freestanding building.<\/p>\n

I have to say that the enclosing \"Travel Plaza\" has seen better days and is confusing to get in and out of to boot. I had no idea until I took these pictures that the little I-20 industrial frontage strip is called \"Plumbers Road\". I wonder if it had a plumbing dispatch office on it and got named that during the great 9-1-1 sevice street naming binge of a few years back or it has always been that. There is also a Day's Inn<\/i> a bit further down the street, and I expect they must work really hard to find \"reasons to pick our location\" on their marketing...<\/p>\n

UPDATE 26 June 2023<\/b>: Updating tags, adding map icon. Also noticed this Pizza Hut<\/a> is listed twice with the other listing under the Wilson Boulevard<\/i> address. Oh well.<\/p>\n
