So, this is a funny little place in rural Tennessee. We were just passing through (though in years past we lived nearby) and stopped for gas. It's one of those country markets that sells a little of everything. Hot food, smokes, packaged snacks, beer (lots of beer), automotive supplies, ice, bait and tackle, cold drinks, etc. The interior is cleaner than I expected and does not reek of smoke (a big plus in this type of place). There are two benches out front. One is an old church pew bolted to the wall. The other is a more conventional park bench with a live chicken in permanent residence. If you want to sit down for a bit, eat your moonpie and drink your RC Cola, and watch the stereotypically colorful locals pass through, I recommend the pew. Contrary to the pictures in google street view, it is a Marathon gas station and their gas prices are reasonable.
