The Convenient Truth: Parker's Market

http://conveniencereview.blogspot.com/2007/10/parkers-market.html

Sunday, October 7, 2007. Simply put, Parker's Market on Drayton is a small version of The Fresh Market. With a gas pump outside. And organic macaroni and cheese. There's a large selection of emergency Mother's Day gift-type items and things you think are "neat" until you look at the price sticker. Their magazine rack is stocked with plenty of uncommon newsstand finds. It ranks in at a reasonable two dollars. I'm serious. October 7, 2007 at 6:31 PM. I saw the Lady Chablis there once. It was so ballin'.

The Convenient Truth: September 2007

http://conveniencereview.blogspot.com/2007_09_01_archive.html

Tuesday, September 18, 2007. In the case of the gas station across the street from my apartment in downtown Savannah, Chris Farley's SNL translation skills. Stood out among the rest. I was surprised to note that unlike most items sitting around in El Cheapo, the pigs feet jars weren't coated in a year's worth of dust. Another aisle conveniently stocks baby toys next to condoms and automotive parts. A few neighborhood grandmas sit here on most weekday afternoons, only with the sorest expressions on their ...

The Convenient Truth: Washington, D.C.

http://conveniencereview.blogspot.com/2007/11/washington-dc.html

Wednesday, November 7, 2007. Washington, D.C. I recently visited the capitol of our fine country for a four-day student media conference. I spent a lot of time walking around in the rain looking for something to do with my friend and fellow conference-goer Chase. We ended up wandering around in four different convenience stores in the downtown D.C. area - a Mexican corner store, a 7-Eleven, a Rite Aid, and a CVS. The third room cost a dollar to enter. It wasn't really a room, but a section of the bac...

The Convenient Truth: The Origin of the Convenience Store

http://conveniencereview.blogspot.com/2007/10/origin-of-convenience-store.html

Monday, October 8, 2007. The Origin of the Convenience Store. While doing a little research for some reviews, I stumbled upon the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) website. Yeah, something like that really exists. They've got a lengthy section describing the rich history of the convenience store in America, which goes something like this. They changed their name to 7-Eleven, Inc. Since the 1950s, the convenience store has grown into the gas stations and corner stores we see today. Nea...

The Convenient Truth: Chu's

http://conveniencereview.blogspot.com/2007/11/chus.html

Tuesday, November 13, 2007. My girlfriend and I were eating at Madras Chetinaad. The best Indian restaurant in Savannah. The general consensus in our relationship is that Indian food is the best in the world. As such, we overeat at this restaurant. Never fail, one of us always leaves with a stomach ache. If I had an endless supply of naan. I doubt I would ever stop dunking and eating it. It would be like a voluntary case of the first victim in Se7en. Yeah, gluttony guy. We headed for the front counter, o...

The Convenient Truth: Memories of the Turner Sub Shop sister store

http://conveniencereview.blogspot.com/2007/11/memories-of-turner-sub-shop-sister.html

Thursday, November 15, 2007. Memories of the Turner Sub Shop sister store. When I started life at SCAD in the Fall of 2005 I lived in the dorms like everyone else. As a requirement of living in the dorms, you had to have a meal plan. These meal plans came with "dining dollars.". What are dining dollars, you might ask. Well, here's SCAD. I'll address the second part of that quote first. Nobody wants to treat their friends to lunch at SCAD. Nobody wants to treat themselves to lunch at SCAD. So, students ar...

The Convenient Truth: Chevron

http://conveniencereview.blogspot.com/2007/10/chevron.html

Tuesday, October 9, 2007. Memories of my first year at SCAD. Come to mind whenever I visit this gas station. The Chevron on the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and Oglethorpe Avenue is the place for dorm-trapped, car-less freshman to forage for "food" when the unappetizing Cafe SCAD. Is closed as usual. The Chevron is a standard gas station store. It's cramped and doesn't offer anything very interesting or unusual aside from maybe Bawls Energy Drink. A convenient set of deck tables and chairs ...
