> Residents of one [Upper East Side](http://www.newyorkmetro.com/realestate/articles/neighborhoods/uppereast.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com) block worry their peaceful existence is about to drown in the icy waters of the Slurpee.

> The convenience-store chain 7-Eleven is opening an outlet Nov. 7 at the corner of East 84th Street and York Avenue.

> And some neighbors are predicting nothing less than catastrophe.

> A flier posted yesterday on the Web site curbed.com foretells the demise of the neighborhood via "rowdiness, serious beer drinkers, taxis on breaks and other undesirable" elements.

> The 24-hour store will cause litter, attract rats, and attract drunks looking for beer, neighbors worry.

> "I've never had a Slurpee, but I can see those Slurpee containers in the street," fumed Judith Cutler, who lives on York Avenue. "I'm concerned about the transients . . . \[in\] the neighborhood."
