Yours might not be a lifestyle that requires Jack's Market: If you have few vices and a well-ordered grocery list, you won't need to visit this homey, rather smoky-smelling mart. On the other hand, if have the kind of lifestyle that demands Jack's Market, Jack's Market is pretty much your only option. The place stays open about eight hours later than anything else in Sylvan Park, and in an area that's short on utilitarian shopping, no place else offer the same selection of partying aids, junk food and miscellaneous hygiene items. You must have some last-minute must-haves: Ben & Jerry's and Diet Coke? Playboy and Little Debbie? Beef jerky and tampons? Baked beans and lottery tickets? Cup of coffee and bottle of Drank? Then I'll see you at Jack's Market. Emily Bartlett Hines
