Given that there is already a pharmacy at Shaw's, the relatively new Walgreens in Union Square, and I think another pharmacy going in on Brighton Ave in the strip mall, I wouldn't rank it towards the top of what would make Barry's Corner a lively and interesting place to go. I'm not saying it would be bad to have another pharmacy, but that it would seem to have a "supporting" role in our new Main Street. What we also need is some businesses and activities that would have a "starring" role and I haven't seen Harvard or their developer propose any "stars" yet.Harry Mattisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16538583371784475876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031470.post-35739744758926753242012-09-25T10:34:55.809-04:002012-09-25T10:34:55.809-04:00A CVS at this end of Allston would be good.

It would be nice to be able to walk to a store with better prices and another choice of pharmacy. Some of us HAVE to use a CVS because that is where our insurance has told us to go. I used to go to Walgreen's which was down the street from my house. Now I have to go to the other end of town for a CVS. Quite an inconvenience. P.S. Walking over the Everett Street bridge is absolutely freezing in the winter with the snow, slush and wind. With asthma it is no party!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11031470.post-47402089061353517582012-09-18T17:47:20.501-04:002012-09-18T17:47:20.501-04:00Nice to see that Harry is back on the airNice to see that Harry is back on the airAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
