It had been part of the Smithville landscape for 70 years but now the building that once served as home to a popular service station and a restaurant is no more. Demolition of the structure, which many will remember as Kent’s Texaco (started in 1950 as Bing & Robinson's Service Station) and the Sunrise Grill, was completed over the weekend. The property, located at the corner of Highway 70 (East Broad Street) and Highway 56 (South Congress Boulevard, is currently for sale by owners Kerry (Bebo) and Kevin Robinson.
