I attempted to stop here at 9pm on a Sunday night while traveling back to Ohio from North Carolina. It’s about a mile east from I-77, in downtown Bland. The entire town looked deserted — no one had their house lights on — and while the station’s inside lights were on, no one appeared to be there. The pumps claimed that they could authorize credit cards 24/7, so I attempted to get fuel. The card would authorize, but the pumps didn’t work at all(I tried two). Given that the town had a bit of a Zombieland-esque feel, I decided to high-tail it out of there — it was creepy! I found two open, well-lit fuel stations one exit north.
