You make it sound so charming, but as an example there’s a rural-ish neighborhood nearby that has a commercial lot which they’re going to put a 24 hour convenience store in. And all the neighbors are freaking out about it because of the clientele and noise they’re worried it will bring in.
- cosmic_cheese 9mo agoI would also be a bit alarmed by a 24h convenience store, but that's quite a different thing than a normal-business-hours small grocer or similar.
- red-iron-pine 9mo agowhy alarmed? do you live in Meth-town? I'd love more 24/7 options around, even if it's just a 7/11
- margalabargala 9mo agoTo be fair, in the US the places able to support 24 hour stores do tend to be places with higher quantities of drug use and homelessness.
- driverdan 9mo agoI'd like more 24/7 options too but it can be a problem. For example, there's a 24/7 7/11 in downtown Austin, TX that has had many crime issues and is in a generally nice area.
- bombcar 9mo agoWhat the 24/7 store is really depends on the area, it's not causal but revealing. Many small towns have a 24hr gas station that doubles as a convenience store/minor grocery and they're often quite nice, clean, and quiet.
