Used to call these places the local “Stop and Rob.”

That's crazy. I just went to a 7-11 on CH on Sunday. Did it close yesterday?

DC is cracking down on unlicensed weed stores after giving them ample opportunity to get licensed. The shady ones will all be gone soon. The DC government may tolerate a lot of stuff, but it doesn't play if it thinks you're withholding revenue:

Oh I think the 7-11s closing is an improvement!

Where do you buy your Skoal, lottery tickets, Mountain Dew, and Hot dogs?

Come to Arlington. We have 21 7-11s and many of them have better wine selections than Arrowine.

No way

Why did they close?

It really says something when vagrancy gets so rampant that it's even too much for a 7-11.

Therefore...?

Good riddance. I’d say I would miss the slurpees, but they were always out of order or melted.
