How to find Bodega

Are you shopping for high-end sneakers? Then check out Bodega in Boston. To find it, just look for the nondescript, convenience-store shopfront on Clearway St. (Here on Google Maps). Go inside and ignore the shelves full of junk food and household supplies. Look for the Snapple Machine. It's the secret entrance to the real store hidden behind the convenience store. Though yes, you can really buy stuff in the convenience store if you want. I wonder how many people wander into the convenience store never realizing it's not the real store. (via Deceptology)

I was thinking more along the line of the Chinese laundry cover front for "Special Unit 2" or C.O.N.T.R.O.L. headquarters entrance.

With an entrance like that I'd expect to find some really weird things for sale. Like kitty handcuffs or fur lined sinks.

Dirty movies and latex accessories?

I said weird, not kinky.

'kitty handcuffs or fur lined sinks.'
Handcuffs brought the other stuff to mind honey, sorry. 😜

That's an odd place for a Snapple machine. A bodega would sell drinks out of a refrigerated case. And it's behind the counter.
