I used to like those places. Didn't have the corporate feel of 7-11.
I did have issues with the carbonated slurpies though. By the time you got to the cashier, the thing was half evaporated. I remember riding my bike from Bonavista, to the one in Midnapore on Bannister road, just to go to Red Rooster, when there was a 7-11 800 feet from my house. It is like a 2 minute drive now, back then it seemed like you were in an exotic, new city, when you ventured across the giant canyon known as Fish Creek Park to Midnapore.
A lot of people used to talk about breaking into and wandering around that scary old hospital on the hill that is now St. Mary's University College. I never did, did anyone here?
