Seneca St Mini Mart

If giraffes worked here, it’d be the «seeneck» St Mini Mart, but in fact it’s an old friend of mine named Uno who owned this and worked here. It’s actually a dfriend of a friend, but he was a great guy, and even though like most mini marts, some of the stuff was a little overpriced or out of date, he would sell me the best and cheapest phonecards for calling the UK, and was always a great character.
I believe the owners were Yemeni. And there were Meni of them in Lackawanna. They even had their own soccer team, the fearsome and unstoppable «Yemen.» I don’t really like Yes men but I do like Yemen. I’ve never been to Yemen but I’ve been to Oman, in fact I’m something of an Oman, in that if you want an O, I’m your man.
If you’re down this way and need something, I can’t recommend this Mini Mart more, especially for the lovely people who were running it when I lived on the East Side. I’ll stop by there one of these days and see if Uno is still around. Maybe he’s had a kid or two by now, in which case his name will be changed to Dos or Tres.
