I worked at the Shenandoah Inn as a fuel attendant in the early 1990's when I was in college. At one time, this was a premium place to stop for a truck stop. After the mid 1990's, the business slowly slid down hill due to pressures such as a Go Mart truck stop which was built right across the street from the Inn where prices were much cheaper for fuel and common goods. Yes, Go Marts at one time were a happening thing! The rumor also was circulated the owner of the Inn at that time I believe sold it off to another buyer and mismanagement problems developed as time progressed. I think it finally closed in the early 2000's era if my memory serves me right. I met so many different people from all over the US when traveling and would stop in for fuel or food. In addition, I met numerous bands like the Grateful Dead, Rat Race, and Alabama when their tour buses stopped by for diesel fuel. Great memories! Seeing this post card really brings back memories as I recall climbing those steps (as shown in the card) hundreds of times walking into the restaurant for food during my lunch breaks.
