The Circle K on Stadium Boulevard and Packard Street in Ann Arbor
What’s my favorite thing about going to Ann Arbor? It’s not Zingerman’s. It’s not Blimpie Burger. It’s the Circle K. I made my to Ann Arbor through a snowstorm for work. I left pretty early because I didn’t know just how bad the roads would be. When I got to town, I made a quick stop at Zingerman’s Next Door to pick up some caramel’s for J. I still had about a half hour before my call time when I got to Crisler Arena and I remembered that there was a Circle K about half a mile down the road, so I headed out back on to the unplowed streets of Ann Arbor.
The Circle K is on Stadium Boulevard not too far from The Big House and Crisler Arena. It’s not the newest gas station in town, but they had what I needed. A Polar Pop. I’ve blogged a few times in the past about the Polar Pop, but I’ll remind you again, it’s more nostalgia than anything. Yes. It’s just a Pepsi out of a fountain in a styrofoam cup, but, unlike other gas stations, they charge less than a buck. Actually, they only charge $.63. Read the rest of this entry »
home from Kalamazoo and rubbed it in my face that she was stopping at a Circle K. This may sound silly because it is just a gas station, but that, so far, is the thing I miss the most about Peoria. It’s not like their gas is any cheaper or their hot dogs haven’t been in the little roller thing longer. The thing I miss are the Polar Pops! 32 oz. of sugary goodness for $.75. Oh sure, you can argue, who needs that much Pepsi…especially when I would stop at the Circle K twice a day or more, but I’m craving it right now. The cheap styrofoam cups, the crushed ice, and being able to pull three quarters out of my pocket and get a pop. I almost got out of my truck and did a victory dance when I accidently found a Circle K in Ann Arbor near the Big House. That was an exciting day. We used to have Polar Pop runs at my last place of employment. It’s actually pretty sad. My boss was on a first name basis and almost to the point of friends with the clerk at the Circle K in East Peoria, IL he went in there so much. I got to know the overnight guy when I would go to work at 3 am and needed that caffeine fix. I don’t know how something so simple can seem so important, but I really, really, really want a Polar Pop. Circle K….come to Lansing!
