7-11 coming to 5th avenue.

Not sure how I feel about this, but a 7-11 is coming to 5th avenue between 13th and 14th street.

Oh thank heaven.

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 want a chutney squishy.

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!

The main reason I applaud this news is that the ATMs in 7-11 are affiliated with Citibank so I will FINALLY have a source of ATMfee-less cash near my home!!

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

Yeah, I'll be going there right after I visit the BoA branch.

(Goddamn middle America.....)

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

7/11? Not exactly Loathsome, but rather incongruous.

What's next? Stewart's Shops?

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.

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?

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

slurpee is the perfect drink for driving around in the summer.

i'm so excited i don't have words

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

I agree - WAWA is the BEST - so much better then 7-11

never heard of WaWa-where are they located?

There are a lot of WAWAs in Pennsylvania amongst other places. The best fried chicken and potatoe logs ever. MMMMmmmm MMMMMmmmmm.

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

I am afraid to ask, but, what is a potato log?

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

I will see you all this summer, joined in happiness in line for booze slurpees!

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

Basically a fat french fry.

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

i did just notice this....got charged 3 bucks at the new chase on 5th the other evening.

i will never, ever go to a chase atm ever again if i can help it.

all these bank branches opening everywhere, but what i could actually use is a commerce up on 7th or flatbush near to me. for now, i'll just walk it, since i'd prefer not to have another storefront ruined with a bank.

Yeah, Bank Of America is doing that now too.

When I walked by last week, 7-11 had an "interested in franchising this location?" sign in the window. I wonder how long it will take someone to commit?

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.
