The 7-11 at 107th and Blue Ridge Blvd. went up (or should I say down) in flames last evening. This store has been an integral part of the Ruskin Heights community for over 40 years. The present day store was not the genuine article, but a johnny-come-lately. The original store was smaller and is now a child care center just behind the store that burned.
Who would have thought it would burn and not die a natural death that comes from too many robberies and a decaying neighborhood. Not I. So the question on all our minds is this: Will they rebuild it? And if they do, will they come?
