I want a Brooks! I love the Brooks resturaunt in oneonta so much better then when the churches do it.
I prefer Giffy's BBQ to Brooks' BBQ -- but neither of those is the "world's best BBQ" IMHO.

The world's best BBQ is from Texas. There are quite a number of places there that serve awesome BBQ.

No one wants to eat in a creepy guy's place, IF he ever followed through. But he won't.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
From what we were told...the truck shop bought it from Flying J's when they went belly up. Flying J's were planning to erect a truck stop and motel for the truckers.
It may be as simple as a company that offered $$$ to take down the barn for the wood. There are companies that do that all the time. They take that old barn wood, refurbish it, and resell it!! Believe it or not, there is a doctor at Albany Med that does just that.

ROTTERDAM Old barn rescued from collapse 1840s structure taken apart, moved to Texas BY JUSTIN MASON Gazette Reporter
This year’s mild winter may have saved the oldest barn on the former Crounse Farm. The 1,290-square-foot barn on Route 7 near the Interstate 88 interchange had fallen into major disrepair even before Earl Crounse sold his defunct 24-acre farm to Flying J Inc. in 2007. But the Utah-based truck stop company’s project to develop the property never came to fruition and the old barn continued to deteriorate through the hard Capital Region winters. “One more winter and it would have fallen over,” said Kevin Durkin, owner of Heritage Barns. Instead, the 1840s-era barn was meticulously dismantled last week and its pieces have since been shipped to Texas. There, the structure will be rebuilt just as it stood in Rotterdam for roughly 170 years, then converted into an upscale three-bedroom home. Heritage Barns frequently operates in the Mohawk Valley and greater Capital Region, an area once filled with sprawling historic farms. The company is usually approached by owners who no longer need the old barns on their property. The Crounse barn was a different story. Durkin said his company had seen the barn’s deteriorating condition and reached out to Flying J in order to save it before it toppled. “We’d been looking at it for three years,” he said. The barn had actually become a bit of an eyesore. Campaign signs dating from the 2009 election remained prominently displayed on the structure, which was visibly listing to one side. “We hate to see old barns moved from where they are,” Durkin said. “But like that site was, [the barn] would have gotten demolished.” And so would have the 40-foot-long, hand-hewn beams inside it. Durkin said barns like the one on the old Crounse farm were built during a time when farmers had access to virgin forest land, fi lled with towering trees that had tight-grained wood. “They will last centuries,” he said. Dismantling the barn was no easy feat for the company either. Crews must carefully navigate the dismantling process, since many of the structures they work around are close to collapse. “No two are the same,” he said “Every single project is different.” The same fate is not in store for the other, more-visible barn. Durkin said his company has no use for the massive circa-1910 dairy barn also existing on the property. Though the barn seems to be in better condition, it will likely be demolished in the near future. Likewise, a similar fate awaits the once-stately brick home also located on the 24-acre farm. ......................>>>>..........................>>>>........................http://www.dailygazette.net/De.....r00901&AppName=1
