It’s About Time We Get One Of These At The Airport In Midland!

When is the last time you took a flight out of Midland? It goes without saying that our sad little airport could use an update. We could use a lot of things actually, starting with Starbucks. I get it, we're not 'big city,' our airport is relatively small compared to some of the airports I've flown into all over the country but come on. 

As I was headed to Midland International just the other day to pick up a friend, I quickly noticed some new construction driving toward the airport. When I realized what it was going to be, literally, driving alone I said, 'well it's about time!'

We are finally getting a gas station/convenience store nearby. How many times have you landed after a vacation or a business trip exhausted and thought,  I wish there were a place to grab a snack, gas up, use the restroom, buy lotto, etc before I head home after this trip and long flight. Before you say, there are places along 1788 where you can get all of these things, I am aware!

But it is quite exciting to know it is literally to your left as you turn to go toward the airport.

And if I read the sign correctly, it is going to be a Kent Kwik, even better! This will hold me over until we get that Starbucks I mentioned before. Construction seems to be moving along nicely and quickly so this new spot should be open for business in no time!
