Nice article in the Seattletimes today about Super Deli Mart at 35th and Barton.

I love this place. The Article's author though has no idea that 35th and Barton is not in White Center...
Yay for the deli mart...the hubby and I hang out there quite a bit. We sure do end up talking to some cool people each time ;)

Yay for Super Deli Mart! It's one of the highlights about living near what I'm dubbing "Tony's Junction."

I love Super Deli Mart! They tweet when they tap new kegs.

Although, I've been trained by my sister-in-law, a life-long west sider, to call it "Hoagie's Corner."

@Lindsey: I like it! The 'junction' or 'corner' definitely needs a name!

It appears Hoagie's Corner stores are still around in SLC and Ogden, Utah (info via cursory Google search). The neighborhood in which I grew up had a Hoagie's Corner at the bottom of the hill - I remember how thrilling it was the first time my neighbor friend and I were allowed to walk there by ourselves to spend our hard-earned lemonade stand money. :-) It's now a 7-Eleven.
Back on topic, SDM is awesome (as everyone knows). The selfish side of me doesn't want anyone else to know how great it is. Those North Seattle hipsters are homing in our secret, DesertDweller!

I dunno, Sarah, it's those people over in Northern West Seattle that *I'm* worried about. ;-)

Sarah, the good news is that those folks won't want to drive "all the way over to West Seattle". But just in case, we can lobby to shut down the West Seattle Bridge to incoming traffic. Signs could read, "Local Access Only".
Maude, that's a great suggestion ;-)
Since we have an informal partnership with them, I hereby apologize for the ST getting the neighborhood wrong. I saw that last night and pleaded with them to change it (just hours after trying to convince them that the gas station robbed by the Polite Robber is not in White Center either)...checking the link again, it looks like I got a small concession; it's been changed to "NEAR White Center." Well, sure, in the sense that downtown is "near Ballard" ...oh well.

Everyone is missing some serious wankery in the comments of the Times.
Did you know that West Seattle-ites were drunkards who don't like being associated with White Center? Neither did I! ;-)
On a somewhat related note, the convenience store one block north at 35th and Henderson now has an ice cream counter inside -- they make it all there, apparently. Good stuff. These two places are raising the bar for convenience stores in WS.

HUGE rave for the SDM, I was running late one night, forgot something at QFC so I stopped there and all I had was $1.50 in my wallet and the item cost $2.00, he said no problem, the $1.50 was fine. 7/11 wouldn't have done that! I'm a loyal customer now!
