Howard Stern Rest Stop Closed Down

Howard Stern‘s rest stop along I-295 in New Jersey is being shut down.

The rest stop was named after the radio shock jock when he gave his endorsement for Christie Whitman during the 1993 gubernatorial campaign. She had promised that a plaque inscribed with his name would be placed at the stop in return for his support. She made good on it.

Motorists passing by were apparently using the facility for more than a pit stop, though.

Couples were found boning in the bathrooms, calling for the close of the rest stop.

State officials are saying otherwise, blaming the recession for being unable to maintain the facilities.

Yup, it’s a sign of the times when horny travelers can’t afford an hourly motel room!
