ybsmall,
thats a good question. What you have to understand is Abilene is a pretty small community of about 7000 people. However most of those people are OLD. They have old values and are very conservative, very right wing. THey don't like that business out there. Personally I don't see any problem with it. Truckers stop there and do their thing, the city gets taxes from it. And there are plenty of people in town that go out there too, just incognito. ITs quite funny actually.
