Surrounding Area
The surrounding area is all farmland with the exception of Makabe hospital which was the original reason the station was opened. At one point the area was supposed to be up for new development; however, as the local populace managed to cling to life longer than expected, the area has remained farmland to this day. Consequently, the majority of traffic for this station is mainly destined for the local Makabe hospital, still in operation to this day.

Famous quotes containing the words surrounding and/or area:
“There are no such oysters, terrapin, or canvas-back ducks as there were in those days; the race is extinct. It is strange how things degenerate.... I passed, the other day, the deserted house of Mrs. Gerry, which I used to think so lordly. It stands alone now amid the surrounding sky-scrapers, and reminds me of Don Quixote going out to fight the windmills. It should always remain to mark the difference between the past and the present.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Self-esteem is the real magic wand that can form a child’s future. A child’s self-esteem affects every area of her existence, from friends she chooses, to how well she does academically in school, to what kind of job she gets, to even the person she chooses to marry.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
