An open letter to 7-Eleven's CEO

St. Augustine Record
Dear Mr. Suzuki: St. Augustine, Florida is celebrating its 450th anniversary.
The first city in the U.S.A. needs your immediate action!
Despite opposition from citizen and community officials, 7-Eleven is building a 12-gas-pump convenience store in a quiet neighborhood at the entrance to our national historic treasure.
This location is currently congested, hazardous and under planning improvements by the Florida Department of Transportation.
We propose that you donate this land to make a great 7-Eleven Park, fountains and all!
We are asking you to please be a responsible corporate citizen.
Be a global model for your vision and sensitivity and let the national 450th party show the world your good sense. Announce a Preserve and Prosper 7-Eleven Historic Park.
Please work with your customers.
In secret, behind locked gates, our Nation's Oldest City dumped a landfill in a lake (Old City Reservoir), while emitting sewage in our rivers and salt marsh. Organized citizens exposed and defeated pollution, racism and cronyism. We elected a new Mayor. We're transforming our City -- advanced citizenship. Ask questions. Make disclosures. Demand answers. Be involved. Expect democracy. Report and expose corruption. Smile! Help enact a St. Augustine National Park and Seashore. We shall overcome!
