7-11 coming to 5th avenue.

Looks like it replaced a 99 cent store. I love 99 cent stores! :evil:

But a blueberry squishy might make me feel better about it all.

I know I will be blasted for saying this and not that I don't love a good neighborhood deli-but, I LOVE 7-11! I am thrilled!

I was wishing a Kwik-E-Mart would open there.

i could use another real estate office around there. too bad that 7-11 is moving in.

gotta say, i love me a slurpee. a mix of coke and blue-raspberry. love it.

YES!!!! The atm fees have been killing me. I'm sick of going to Rite Aid and buying something to get cash back.

That is funny!!! I can relate -- that's the only reason I shop at Key Food.

But I HATE Citibank! Shitibank is always hitting me with hidden fees. On top of that, a homeless dude lives in Citibank on President Street and 7th Avenue. For all that Citibank charges me, you'd think they'd have enough money to keep this homeless guy from asking me for money on their property. Frankly, the "Keep the Homeless Guy Away" fee is one I'd gladly pay. (Yeah, yeah, I know -- half of you reading this LOVE the homeless guy. Well, invite him to live in your home then, because I don't like sharing my ATM booth with him).

If this new 7/11 were really great, it would have an orange ING Direct ATM machine.

Slurpee/vodka is a fun summer drink. Rivals Sisco for a headache, though.

If we gotta have a convenience store chain around here, I wish it were a Wawa.

never heard of WaWa-where are they located?

Beg to differ but the best fried chicken is ON THE WAY to Pennsylvania - at Roy Rogers

Why didn't I think of that? I'm going for coke slurpee and rum.

A Coke slurpee mixed with whiskey is just what the doctor ordered!

has anyone noticed that Chase is now charging you like $3 to use there ATMs-- if you don't have an account with them?

Knock on wood--I've been lucky enough not to discover any weird fees coming out of my citi account. The only one is that damn $1.50 for every time I use a non citibank atm. And believe me, I keep track of how many times I went to another atm every month and make sure they didn't overcharge me at the end of the month!!

Now with the 7-11 I can stay out and drink longer!!! Notice how its perfectly positioned between Buttermilk and Commonwealth?

Yeah, Bank Of America is doing that now too.

thats crazy-- its actually cheaper to go to the skeevy bodega atm's?!!

I really need a Bank of America by me-- at least a free standing ATM or something-- I have to go all the way downtown or to take the bus or train to Kingston Ave to get to an ATM... kind of makes me want to just switch to Chase out of convenience.
