A machine, and nothing else. by zippitydoodah
Yes, just a soda machine, in the ghetto, in front of an apartment building. Often surrounded by various characters of the shady persuasion. We always joke about the machine being a front for some sort of drug dealing operation. But, in fact, it’s just soda. Located between 14th and 13th Streets on the south side of F Street in the Lincoln Ghetto. 50 cents gets you a Pepsi, Coke, Mountain Dew, Dr. Pepper, Diet Coke, Welch’s Grape, A & W Root Beer…I think there may be a couple more. After 3 years of living within a block of the Cold Drinks machine, I finally got thirsty enough (and lazy enough, as I could have ventured less than a block further and gotten anything I wanted) to make my first visit to it this morning. Worth going if you want a can of soda, you’re already nearby, Casey’s is closed, and you only have 50%…Not worth visiting if you are trying to avoid crackheads and prostitutes. Unless you’re desperate for a drink, or, like me, are amused by such things as a soda machine lovingly nicknamed Crackhead Junction.
