Finally, finally, there will be a decent place to get a slurpee in Tribeca. 7-Eleven, the "largest chain in the convenience retailing industry," has set its sights south of Canal. Reports a reader, "There's a 7-11 opening on the corner of Church and Warren in Tribeca." And indeed, as the gallery above evidences, the pink, orange and green store is almost ready for its time in the spotlight.
