It is on a high-traffic corner which had been the site of a boarded-up gas station for several years. Oh thank heaven that thing is gone. The store won a zoning case to sell beer and wine despite being a block away from Sunset High School. And right now, gas is $2.95 per gallon.

Maybe this new store will help diminish the wait for a pump during rush hours at the two nearest gas stations, Tom Thumb and Valero.
