FBO is open 24/7, has a nice pilot lounge with a couch to sleep on, and the courtesy car is available 24/7 too. John's pancake house was real good and very cheep, just across the street. There's also a Walmart super center right across the street.

Fuel stop here on my journey from Canada to Florida in October. Flying back to my place I planned to overnight here in April. Superb tie downs and helpful personnel. Courtesy car offered and the nearby Hoosier Inn is a bit dated but very cozy. Next morning I had a mechanical issue but the local maintenance shop had me all fixed up by next morning. Weather kept me there for 2 more days but I had an absolutely fine time experiencing local Americana hospitality. I'm going back this summer! Dave
