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.
Or you prefer living in a free country.
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.

their cokes and cigs are great.can't go wrong there.
their gum aisle is pretty good...
Or if you have better things to worry about than whether or not a gas station/convenience store is tony enough for you! :roll:
There are many things that are not aesthetically pleasing to me - I have the same options: to change them or get over it.

Who defines unsightly business? Everyday life is a potential hazard to human health at worst. How do you feel about a guy selling produce on the side of the road?
Well said. Also, if you don't like it then don't spend your money there. I think that is the strongest statement one can make. That's freedom.
I've seen some of the construction guys in Rosemary go into the nicer sandwich shop to buy water and I've seen the looks they get from other patrons. I've also been one of the people getting that look and it doesn't feel nice. I walked into Buddy's looking like heck from pulling 12 hours in the hot sun and they were welcoming and nice and their gator-aid was sealed and cold. If I had my choice, I always tried to go to the thumb but that wasn't always possible.
Buddy's provides a service to a working class environment of our population that are not comfortable spending $5 for designer water. If they are in violation of codes they will get called on it. They may look like heck. It's been awhile since I had to go there but they provide a service to the people who are providing a service to others.
And as far as a heath hazard, I'm much more concerned about poop-lemons in my designer water than the dirt underneath my one-time work boots. Live and let live
