It looks way scarier than it is. It’s a classic Southern California liquor store, which means it’s actually a convenience store that carries a lot of liquor and maybe even has some deli meats. Everything is as dusty and expired as you would expect it to be. I’m always surprised that weird nostalgia people don’t go to these places and buy their old beer posters with women wearing bikinis before the posters fade from the sun, which they always do. Going west on Philadephia is always so much fun; you never know what you’re going to find. Or you know exactly what you’re going to find, and it’s surprising as hell.

Quick and easy, just wish they would stay stocked on energy drinks so I don’t have to walk 4x as far to 7eleven lol.
