- chrisdhoover 7y agoGrowing up in suburbs it was 7 by god Eleven, or 7 by god for short. These were not on the corner though, they were a car ride away to an arterial road. Sometimes we went to Highs because Highs did ‘t card. When I moved to the city the store to buy beer, because seriously that’s all we would buy there, was called the market or the corner store.
