What's up with Buddy's

[Alicia Leonard]

I am going to have dd take me there to get fritos and bean dip.

They've got it. I'd check the exp. date on the dip, just to be safe

I bet I've been to worse (in Louisiana).

Life's simple pleasures.

I agree it looks more awful than ever since the fire with smoke on the front and the plywood front door. I only go there as a last resort but years ago I sure was glad the store was there. I wish they would replace or improve the building. Business would increase too...

Did the insurance money from the fire pay the owners enough to repaint? I took note as I drove by Buddy's today, and it is nasty as hell in appearance, but I don't think that appearing nasty is a violation of Code.

Toots, that was so well said! ITA!

I haven't stopped at Buddy's except to turn around ;-) but if I needed gas, I'd stop. My issue with appearance and cleanliness comes in regarding the little ones yelling, "Mama, I gotta go to the pottie BBBAAADDD!!!" while I'm thinking, "Why the heck didn't I remember to make them go before we left home?"

If at all possible, I avoid an unsanitary convenience stores regarding that situation. I had to drive a really, really long way in ATL trying to find a suitable restroom for The Wedge (AKA middle child) 'cause areas like Clarkston and Decatur are just nasty right along 285. I would have rather have her pee in the car and fix the mess later than to have taken her into a nasty store.

hey organic. I may stop in on occasion, but not when I have the kid. he is not allowed. but if I did take him and he had to pee, well, then there is always the great outdoors.. somewhere down the road a bit, maybe on a side street of rosemary beach.. wouldn't be the first time either.

Tootsie, just a little farther east, maybe a couple of blocks, turn right onto South Orange, and there is a port-o-john at the beach access (for the lifeguards).

Buddy's is pretty rundown, but it's also a GAS STATION. :roll:

I can't think of any attractive working gas stations in Sowal (Sally's is nice but is usually out of gas when I stop there). There is a lot of trash, chain smoking, and unattractiveness at basically every gas station.

Sounds like if more people frequented Buddy's they'd have the $ to take the plywood off the windows etc. ;-)

I went by looking for a churro cart today and was diappointed. I found nothing. In my frustration and determination to patronize the place one way or another I lifted my shirt to cover my mouthan nose, opened the door to the place, and lobbed a roll of fives inside then ran like heck.
