"Who's going to turn down a junior mint?
It's chocolate, it's peppermint,
it's delicious. It's very refreshing."
–Kramer


A convenience store war is brewing down the street.

Events:

-friendly neighbourhood convenience store shuts down practically overnight
-renovations begin
-new cleaner and more organized convenience store opens up in its place
-it appears to be family run (father and young son at the cash)
-building I never noticed was empty, across the street*, opens up with giant fluorescent Bristol boards announcing it’s “Coming Soon”… one of the boards declares that the guys formerly across the street are starting up again in this new location
-who will I go to for my convenience needs… hmmm… the old guys always let me buy change for laundry and had a fresh supply of junior mints, sometimes they’d shoot the breeze with me… but the new store is run by this nice religious family…

*it’s hardly even across the street… it’s two car widths and a couple sidewalks apart…
