I'm compelled to review this largely because it is a Petro station, and so this is a shout-out to the quirky layout of ALL Petro stations in the GTA (Greater Tallahassee Area). quirky layout? - Oh... - I'm talking about the dual-sided gas pumps located in the PARKING LOT right up by the front door. I can't think of anything more decadent that that for a gas station - a feature that permits you to park up front - gas - and ponder what those poor saps at the run-of-the-mill pump islands 10 yards away are doing... For the ultimate experience, I enjoy the Petro on Orange myself - a gem of a station, and always on the way to & fro your flights.

Neighborhood convenience store - one of TLH's Time Savers sans gasoline pumps…read more I'm on a mission to visit all our Time Saver stores in the city, and with this one still unreviewed, I can score "First to Review" cred AND pick up a couple of Arizona Teas. Fairly spartan interior - heavily barred windows - but I was greeted politely and would return anytime - if needed. ATM in the corner. Conspicuous "no hanging out" sign posted at entry, so I didn't.

This is what I would call a "battle-hardened" location. At any given time during the day, expect…read moreto see folks lounging in make-shift benches or supporting the walls. Under the shade of the southernmost fence you can hear fierce discussions underway. This morning's visit saw one of the employees stocking beer cans in the ice-bin front/center. From the looks of it, a good deal of the cans were Old Milwaukee tall-boys, if I'm not mistaken. Old Milwaukee & Milwaukee's Best (or, more fondly remembered as "Old Immokalee and Imokalee's Best back in College days) were "comfort-beer" back in my more impoverished days. As tempting as they were, glistening there, I did shudder and remembered it was 10AM - in, my case, in 2015. As such, I didn't pick one up. The lady at the counter was very friendly and I pre-paid my gas, and walked back out to pump #1. Brief trip down memory lane for a moment: The year was 1988. (Spring, I believe). Tonto and I were leaving Ashemore's Antiques (on Brevard, but on the other side of McComb). I was driving a magnificent 1982 Ford Crown Victoria at the time - really, a Crown Vic', since it was a used unmarked cop car - and as we crossed McComb on Brevard, heading back to Cash Hall, shots fired from over at this very Time Saver. I chose to ignore THAT red light and went ahead and burnt through it - fairly rapidly, I might add. Hooo boy, those were the days!

Looking for a reasonably safe convenience-store conveniently close to a home-grown Fried Chicken…read moreoutlet? - look no further! - Express Lane is for YOU! Express Lane is in a customer profile vortex - caught between the clientele of a heavily used bus stop to the south, those gainfully motoring about in their own vehicles, and the pedestrian set neither boarding a bus nor getting back in their autos. Toss in the overflow from Krunchy Krispy - and you've got quite a diverse convenience store. There was a brief time when I opted for newer, flashier gas stations but those times are far behind. These days, I seek out the proverbial salt-licks found about the old-school bodega layouts of these here disenfranchised micro-businesses. I suspect there's no suit flying in from corporate to get a sense of "field-work" in the local Express Lanes. And that's a good thing. Those guys flying in from corporate, doing their annual "field visits" are blow-hards anyway! So rock-on, seemingly independent Express Lane! - I'll be frequenting your pumps from time to time, and so will the rest of Yelp nation - if'n they feel like it.

The store inside is larger than it seems and has a lot of items inside with good prices.

I can't comment on any interaction with the employees because I have yet to go inside. I pull up to the gas pump, insert my Shell card and pump my gas. No human interaction required. They tore down the old gas station plus the closed Days Inn next door then built a new convenience store, gas pump island, car wash and KFC and reconfigured the main entrance from N. Monroe to eliminate RVs and trailers getting their bumpers stuck trying to make the steep climb. I can say that the new gas pumps are easy to use, the car wash is a fail for my vehicle and having the KFC in the parking lot is convenient. The gas prices are ok but my nearby Circle K stopped selling Shell gas when they built their new store so this is now my regular gas station.
