I would guess you're talking about the Turkey Hill on Main Ave...that place is a dump....I go in there for Turkey Hill Iced Tea, that's about it. Although I can get Turkey Hill Iced Tea at any supermarket too. Shady clientele in there...although the Luzerne Street store is worse. I wish they'd implode Turkey Hill and put in a Wawa.
Yep, that's the one. Don't know what she wanted the cash for, but at least she didn't seem like a junkie. Yeah, a Wawa would be a welcome change.. Even a run-down, over-priced ghetto bodega would be more useful than Turkey Hill.

It's an obscure abbreviation. I've had many people ask me what that meant! So you aren't blind!
