“As far as I can tell, this was the only place in Smithville to fuel up. There may have been other places, but I did not seem them. We also took the time to use the restroom facilities, get coffee, and buy an Ohio roadmap. As Smithville is pretty small and their are not many places to go - this place was hopping. Because it offers a convenience store - there was a line of about 10 people ahead of us buying all sorts of things.”
