Reading this hits home for me.
I grew up going to that store. Buying candy, junk food with the kids in the neighborhood.
Drinking our sodas after playing random games like tag, two hand touch, tennis ball baseball and so on.
I clearly remember being a kid in the 90s, seeing someone from the neighborhood get arrested in front of our home right after he tried robbing Sunny with a freaking highlighter inside his sweatshirt lmao
