What's up with Buddy's

Looks like Dirty Mexico outside with that Churro Stand. But hey I guess some people like the authentic Mexican feel. No food inspectors in Walton Co.? But someone has to service all the illegals that No One in Gov't will address. So get used to the Nasty Look it's sweeping the Nation.

Quelle suprise, monsieur!

I go to Buddy's all the time. He's a helluva nice guy. It reminds me of the small corner markets in New York City. They pack more stuff into a small area than any stores that I've seen. On the other hand, my wife thinks its a s--thole.

Well in that Case I guess I am Going to have to Start Patronizing the Place.

or dessert, whichever comes first

wow. I don't know about buddy's, but I do know this post = nasty feel and look.

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).

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).

very good info to have. never know when you need a potty. thanks.

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.

You can buy it and fix it up .................... or you can get over it.

That's the spirit........... if giving up or not caring are major tennents of your personal philosophy.

Oh come on, it has character. At least Buddy is paying his taxes which is more than can be said for that moldering bankrupt community next door

If a bombed-out looking dumpster of a place is your idea of character, you may want to consider a tour of duty in Iraq. Lots of "character" there from the pictures I have seen.

Quite the opposite, if you care to think about it a little longer.

Okay enlighten me.. I've thought for a whole 3 seconds.

Trying to silence the likes of Cali, just because she cared enough to complain about an unsightly business at the least, a potential hazard to human health at the worst, is exactly the type of chilling effect it would seem any of us who appreciate and want to protect a free society would steer away from. Don't you think?

The whole idea and concept of a messageboard forum like this is to offer people, all people, the opportunity to speak out on matters that matter to them. Sounds like the extent of what she was doing when she started this thread, and it was in keeping with the spirit of SoWal completely.
