Billy, I moved to right near that area in 2006 and don't remember ever seeing anything called Rib Junction. There's a new Target, Wal-Mart and several strip shopping centers so it's proably long torn down.

ACTUALLY RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM RELATIVE IN FLORIDA WHO HAD EATIN AT RIB JUNCTION APPROXAMATELY 1991/92. SEEMED TO REMEMBER AS A TRUCK STOP AND PORK WAS DRY .. HMNNNNN .. SOME HISTORY MAY NOT BE WORTH THE SAVING. I DID A SHOW UP NEAR THE SPACE STATION IN LATE 80'S EARLY 90'S. NEAR A STADIUM SITE FOR THE NEW EXPANSION TEAM, THE FLORIDA MARLINS. AFTER THE EVENT JOHN WILLINGHAM HEADED BACK TO TENNESSEE AND I HEADED FOR FT. LAUDERDALE TO VISIT MY BROTHER. I BELIEVE WE MAY HAVE STOPPED AT A TRUCK STOP NAMED YEE HAW JUNCTION ..COULD THAT BE THE SAME ???

Be a real shame if someone didn't salvage that pit!

SO MUCH HISTORY GETS LEFT BEHIND BECAUSE $ BUCKS $ TO PRESERVE ARE HARD TO COME BY . ONE OF MY TREASURES IS BROOM HANDLE, SAUCE STIRRER LEFT BEHIND IN CLEVELAND 1985 BY THE INFAMOUS LAMAUD "HOT SAUCE" WILLIAMS. HIS FINGER IMPRESSIONS ARE STILL IN THE CHIX TOWEL USED TO GRIP THE BROOM HANDLE WHILE HE STIRRED THE POT ... THEN AGAIN MAYBE ONLY IMPORTANT TO ME AS REMINDER OF EARLY HELP UP FROM A LEGEND OF CLEVELAND.. I'VE GOT STORIES BUT NONE SO GOOD AS THE REALITY HE LIVED..
