Mentor lies along Route 8, which parallels the Ohio River. The flavor is very rural as the town is surrounded by agricultural land. Homes vary from small to quite large. Large farms have been divided and this has encouraged growth in the areas. There are about 200 residents in this city.
The rich bottom land along the river brings carloads of city residents looking for fresh vegetables or just enjoying the scenic views during the summer months. Farmers set up roadside stands to sell their harvests. Summer months also see people traveling through these areas to reach their summer homes along the river. Restaurants and convenience stores provide for the needs of all.
