Pit Stop Deli

This little corner store was a great find! We needed a sandwich, and were going to settle for fast food, when we spotted the Pit Stop. Were rewarded by a well constructed sandwich on fresh rolls, filled with sliced-​to-​order meats and cheese, accessorized by a generous selection of toppings: banana peppers, olives, red onion, etc, and a choice of condiments.

The Pit Stop is super convenient. Staff is friendly and they always have PBR in stock.

Great little corner store! Well stocked selection of beer and wine, sandwiches made to order! I was thrilled to discover they carry Campbell’s Popcorn, including my all time fav, dichotomy popcorn (cheddar and caramel corn together). Always clean and bright. The staff is always helpful and courteous.

This hidden little corner store is in a great location for locals. I have some friends that live within walking distance of the Pit Stop Deli. Needless to say, we’ve made late night beer runs without the worry of a DUI. Last night, I bought a 5-​hour Energy drink from here instead of a sugary energy drink per the cashier’s recommendation. He wasn’t wrong and the 5-​hour energy really worked with no hangover/​side effects.
The cashier is super cool and they have fruit smoothies on tap all the time. The beer selection is great, but a little pricey. However, I’m willing to pay extra for the convenience.
Thumbs up!

I took my pooch down to the river this morning via Puritas. I noticed this convenience store on top of the hill, just before you enter the metroparks. It is oddly located in an all residential area.
I expected a poorly stocked dump, but found a clean open space full of varied products. They had the usual pop, chips, car stuff and lotto. But the beer and wine selection was stunningly diverse. I picked up a six of Ithaca Brewing Apricot Wheat and a halloween scratch off. Not for the park, for later! Never seen that brand around these parts, and i like visiting Ithaca. They take the card, no minimum (also rare among delis). Oh, and they make samiches. I haven’t tried one yet. But if you are taking a date down to the park or going golfing, and forgot a picnic basket, stop by for last minute provisions. Get your date a 40 oz. all her own and some jerky to set the mood.
So once in the woods, I noticed what was either a stray dog, wolf or wolfman ahead on the trail. Here are some forest safety tips:
1.Find the biggest stick you can carry in case you need to beat the living F*ck out of something.
2.Take plenty of fluids. Water in the summer and whiskey in the winter. Fall and spring call for hot cocoa with a shot of Kahlua.
3.Take a camera. You never know when you will see some hipster sporting a headband and a mustache. Submit photo to LATFH. Or beat with giant stick.
