  "story": "Established in 1983 in a town designated \"Home of the official Kolache of the Texas Legislature\". A poster in the store counts the year's raw materials in thousands of pounds — over 1,200 pounds of cream cheese, 9,000 pounds of flour.\n\nFor a lot of Texans the Czech Stop is where the kolache and the klobasnek stop being a regional food and become a road food: the reason you take I-35 rather than another route.",
  "today": "Open around the clock, and busiest when the highway is."
