Has anyone else noticed that a “new” AM/PM gas station is being constructed at 29th & J Street? You’ll recall that there was a less than inviting AP/PM there before so I was quite pleased when I saw it leveled. Did anyone ever get gas there? If so, did anyone ever get gas there WITHOUT being assaulted by panhandlers?
I sort of just assumed a new Starbucks/Jamba Juice/Flingers combo unit was going to take its place. Not to be. So what’s going on here? Between the .35 ATM surcharge and the $75 pre-authorization thing, I’m thinking we could do without.

It’s a good location for a gas station, especially in that area. Besides, I’m sure the panhandlers will appreciate the fancy new digs.

We were filming some panhandling action there, at that AM/PM for our documentarty (see http://www.whylieineedadrink.com) and we ended up with footage of a crazy panhandler getting into a fight with two even crazier guys in matching bronze vans. It was nuts. There was racist term slinging, belt buckle swinging and more than once our cameras were threatened.
