Smith’s Waco Market is a community landmark. “My parents purchased a small produce stand in 1976. We have added on twice, and now we carry a full line of groceries— sourced from Ohio as much as possible,” Adams says. “We also serve homemade cafeteria-style food like macaroni, chicken noodle soup and enchiladas.” Locals can also browse over 100 dealer booths at The Station Antiques and Uniques. Located in a red brick building on a rural roadside, The Station sells vintage items like glassware, gas and oil memorabilia and antique furniture. Adams says that for most shopping, “people usually head into Canton; it’s about 10 to 15 minutes to Belden Village Mall.” Though the neighborhood is mostly residential, the community is bordered by thoroughfares lined with restaurants and businesses. El Campero is a popular spot serving traditional Mexican food while also offering happy hour and vegetarian dishes. Opened in 1947, Aunt Mary Ann Donuts Café is a family-owned restaurant with a hometown vibe. Though doughnuts are the café's main draw, the menu also offers breakfast sandwiches along with traditional and specialty coffee drinks. The Outer Canton location is one of five for the growing family business.
