Circle K....now known as Irving gas station Whately, MA

The 2 circle K gas stations across the street from each other in town are called Irving 


now. This one doesn't have as many pumps as the other so it's usually a lot less busy 


so I usually go here if I have a choice. ATM is a Bank America vestibule though so 


that's A DEFINATE NEGATIVE, I WOULDN'T TAKE OR GIVE A PENNY TO ANYTHING WITH 


THAT DISHONEST, THEIVING, SHADY BUSINESS NAME ON IT. Great friendly staff and i've 


even hit for a few hundred multiple times on $2 scratch tickets as well so that made 


up for the -1 the BOA atm was going to give.

It's incredible how great the coverage has grown to for Google Maps and Earth. This photo is for the Irving Circle K gas station which I added because I did a quick  review on the station. It's not terrible but i've seen much much better clarity on other ones....when I looked up my old apartment last year when it first came out I could see my car so perfectly in detail that I could read my license plate from all the way down driveway across the street. (To be honest I don't really like just how easily someone could use these apps to commit several serious crimes.

FL Roberts: Whately Truck Stop

FL Roberts: Whately Truck Stop 
372 State Road, Whately, MA 01093

Tiny store, literally can't fit more then maybe 8 people inside the gas station. It's a well known place for truckers to eat, get gas and sleep at night. Always many 18 wheelers parked and its drawn a pretty rough crowd at times but since it's open 24 hours its also popular with the local high school and townpeople who are either out drinking or up late. Also, due to the stripclub Castaways being about a mile down the road you get a few of the ladies nightly. Not a bad place to eat during the day but probably not the place i'd bring my kids if your taking a road trip and need to refuel at 1am after the bars close.
