mecq...do you own a map? That store is downtown Valdosta and is 5 miles from the interstate through heavy traffic. It is NOT as you say "right off the I75 exit ramp"....if so than ALL of Valdosta is closer and would be a "BullsEye for crime". LOL!

That store is a BullsEye for crime. It's right off the I75 exit ramp,in a dark remote location.

Wow, this dude could have profited from a few moments with Willie Sutton. Willie would have noted that the Dollar General is where the money ain't.
