US Highway 83, running between North Dakota and Texas, cuts America in half. The road runs mostly through rural, isolated parts of the country, which has earned it the nickname the "Road to Nowhere."
John Davis, a roofer and rancher in Menard, Texas, is trying to make his little slice of US-83 a "somewhere" for road trippers, freight truckers, hunters, and a smattering of locals. Davis bought an old gas station about a year ago and has spent his free time turning it into a farmers market, rest stop, and gathering place. Menard Station opened in September and is gaining a fan base.
