Every Saturday morning I walk past this corner store to pick up my Little Sister, and every Saturday afternoon we stop in to buy a soda/candy bar/snack after our day of fun together.
Every time I go in, there is a sense of confusion. Things have moved around. The soda they used to sell last week is no longer a brand they carry this week. There's a line one day, and no line-based system the next.
Confusion aside, though, this is a perfectly acceptable corner store, located at the intersection of Washington, Bowdoin and Harvard Sts, right opposite Down Home Delivery, and ALWAYS open. Always. Even when it should be shut -- it's open.
They're on the pricier end, despite the local demographic and especially in comparison to the six or seven corner stores dotted around... ahem... Dot, but they're good people and they sell whatever it is you need, at whatever hour of the day or night.
Not worth a specific trip on a rainy day, but not a bad choice when you're in the area. read more
