I can't really tell what's going on here. Sunglasses, socks, driving instruction...I like the 'knifes' for sale on the side, as well as the cool blankets--Bob Marley, football teams, Marilyn Monroe. You name it!
Welcome to 7-11 No More! We are not affiliated with 7-11 as a company, nor do we mourn to a significant degree the downsizing of the company (unless, of course, I can't find a 7-11 anywhere at all, and therefore can't indulge in those yummy chocolate with chocolate frosting donuts they carry). We just happen to think it funny to come across buildings that used to be 7-11s and are now any number of small businesses. No matter the facelift given to the actual structure, it is always easy to spot an ex-7-11. The low-lined symmetry and the pair of red brick columns bookending the glass doors are a dead giveaway. Also, upon entering, and hearing the "ding-dong" that is the 7-11 customer greeting is classic.
A few years ago my sister and I decided it would be great fun, if not a great addition to modern literature, to create a coffee table book comprised of photos of ex-7-11 buildings. If you find one, snap away and e-mail it to us. jenningscolby@yahoo.comor carlyjgates@yahoo.com
