Standard of Gas Stations! ​I rarely take the time to write reviews for a gas station, but the…read moreFiveStar location (specifically the one on Highway 101) deserves every bit of praise. This isn't just a place to fill up your tank; it's a genuinely pleasant pit stop that resets your travel mood. ​First, the cleanliness is always good. From the moment you pull up, the pump area is spotless--no overflowing bins or sticky residue, which is shockingly common elsewhere. More importantly, the restrooms are always clean. They clearly take hygiene seriously, which, for a traveler, or someone often taking road trips like myself, this is a huge sign of respect for their customers. ​The staff is for the most part has always been exceptional. Every employee I've encountered has been friendly, quick, and genuinely helpful. They engage with customers and seem to enjoy their jobs considering their friendliness. This makes my transactions fast and pleasant. ​Beyond the fuel (which is always priced competitively for the area), the amenities are top-notch. Their coffee bar is fantastic--freshly brewed, with a variety of syrups and creamers that rival a dedicated coffee shop. The selection of road trip snacks is vast, and they even carry a small selection of fresh, refrigerated sandwiches and fruit cups that are perfect for a quick, healthy lunch on the go. ​FiveStar is my default choice now as often as possible. It's consistent, clean, friendly, and efficient. It sets a standard for what a convenience store and fueling station should be. Highly recommend stopping here if you're in the area!

It's more likely than you'd think! Old Tyme Liquors is fairly small but packs a remarkable variety within its walls, and no matter what your vice is, you won't be hurting for options. The craft beer coolers deserve particular attention, because they house some rarities that are downright shocking to find in this region. My favorite find was Lazy Magnolia's Southern Pecan Ale. This terrific brown ale from Kiln, MS tends to be rarer than hen's teeth in Kentuckiana, and I've only caught it on draft a couple times. To see it casually hanging out in one of Old Tyme's coolers was a real treat. Other notable names on deck here include Lil Beaver (Bloomington, IL), Voodoo Brewing Co. (Meadville, PA), Rochester Mills (Rochester, MI), Fair State Co-op (Minneapolis, MN) and of course, plenty of standout breweries from across Indiana. Seriously, this place is a slice of heaven if you're looking for craft beer from far-flung parts of the country. And for everything else, they keep the prices reasonable and the shelves stocked. Damn, it feels good to be a Hoosier.
