Yes, perhaps I...Thanks for reading and commenting! Yes, perhaps I should have acknowledged the driving force of Mr. Skidmore, but I thought my friend's version of the story as he imagined it was more creative and funny. I might also point out for any readers who might be seeking reservations that the hotel complex is now a Days Inn Hotel.

Actually that whole area started "developing" after a distant cousin of mine (like 2nd cousin twice removed) - John Skidmore started a Truck Stop/Gas Station back in the 70's there. They owned a good bit of that land there, and bought more as it became available. The Hampton Inn started there in the early 90's and then the outlets across the way shortly thereafter. Makes sense as the geographic center of the state, and every body needs to stop for gas and a potty break there between Charleston or Beckley and Clarksburg.
