That 7-11 scent is.....mmm mmm good.

When I lived in Northern Virginia, I lived in one of those unique NoVa apartment complexes that felt isolated even though you could throw a baseball from the balcony and have it land on The Beltway.

The only store that was remotely walkable was a 7-11. Since I was in my 20s and a problem drinker at the time, I knew it well. And I usually took a big gasp of air before entering to limit the impact of the scent.
