It must seem strange that I'm excited about a new 7-Eleven. I know we're supposed to want more local businesses around, and I of course do, but when your beloved 'hood has been long overrun with a seemingly neverending stream of MONEY CA$H 2 U PAYDAY ADVANCE MART$ in every last vacant retail space, you would probably welcome Buy N Large corporate headquarters with open arms.
Management and staff seem very nice and invited us in this morning (Day 2!) to check out their goods. Plenty of good, hot coffee and not-stale donuts. Baked hash browns were DELISH and I see many more in my fat future. I'd further describe the inventory but I guess you're a human person and you know what's in a 7-Eleven.
But also, Slurpees.
In summation: I'll report back after further visits. So far, I'm just happy to see another recognizable storefront near my apartment so visitors might believe they are in a legitimate neighbourhood and not accidentally stumbling onto a production of Little Shop of Horrors during the musical number "Skid Row (Downtown)".
