The 7-Eleven at 473 W. Broadway was held up around 9:30 p.m. by a white man, about 5'10" with a scruffy beard and wearing a red mask and a dark jacket with a gray lining.

Agree there is a drug problem, and shutting Long Island shifted a lot of impact into many of our front yards. The methadone mikebon Mass Ave is a reched (SP?) mess.
But it also not like convenience stores in Southie (and elsewhere) haven't been robbed before.

Clearly, this burgler was not ORIGINAL Southie stock. Some "yuppy" burgler who just doesn't get the Southie traditions.
