Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Have you noticed the number of 7-Elevens popping up around town? Often right across the street from an abandoned 7-Eleven that turns into a neighborhood eyesore?

Says Chris:

And finally, from James Gold:
If only 7-11 were as classy as Dunkin' Donuts...
