Did you know the Dixie Boy Truck Stop was real?

[Bojangles]

Fact #1: The "Dixie Boy" truck stop was a set constructed 10 miles outside of Wilmington, North Carolina. It was convincing enough that several truckers tried to stop in, and eventually the producers had to put announcements in local papers saying that the "Dixie Boy" was just a movie set.

Fact #2: The Dixie Boy Truck Stop was indeed a real Truck Stop in Columbus County, North Carolina. The Truck Stop was torn down in the late-1980s
