Description: Before the proliferation of large truck stop chains made them a ubiquitous sight along the interstates, one-off mom-and-pop truck stops found on the two-lane highways were the norm, and the Tucson Truck Terminal is one such example. Located on Highway 80 east of Tucson, Arizona, Tucson Truck Terminal has been serving truckers passing through the Southwest since 1954.

Description: Big Kay's Burger is a fictional diner from the 1986 movie 'The Wraith' in the equally fictional town of Brooks, Arizona. The movie was filmed in Tucson, and Big Kay's served as a central gathering place for the roster of teen characters. The actual diner was located at 2627 E. Benson Highway, and had been there since the early '60s, but was demolished in the '90s. As for The Wraith, it's a classic '80s flick that did better on VHS than it did in the theater. This is probably due to the mysterious box art that was much cooler than the movie itself. For those who are unfamiliar with the movie, The Wraith focuses on a mysterious man/spirit who descends from the sky and manifests in a sports car and targets a violent road-racing gang.
