Slog - Comments on Clay St. & Denny Way http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/07/clay_st_denny_way Springfield As you probably know by now, eleven US 7-11 stores have been temporarily transformed into Kwik-E-Mart's to cash in on the upcoming Simpsons movie. I'm a huge Simpsons fan, so I couldn't help but get a little giddy when I heard the 7-11 on Denny —at the south end of Seattle Center— was one of the few stores getting made over.

Adding a pack of that German blutorange wodka from the earlier slog post. It's a drink that's its own chaser!

Don't know if that's one of the regular flavors or a special add. Mighty tasty, and the weather certainly warranted it.

They are just fruit loops, much to my dismay. I thought they would be larger frosted cheerios.

Oh well.

The Buzz Cola is surprisingly good.

They were out of everything, including the pink donuts, when we stopped by a week or two ago, too.
