Still, though, as someone who was asked once to give an estimate of how many paper clips he used in a budget year, that .000001% sales increase potential is compelling.

I remember them having alcohol in 2002. I think that was one of the last Walgreens to sell booze. I remember them having alcohol in 2002.

Do you know if anyone tried to persuade them to rehab the original and did the community have time to do something about that? Oh, how sad.

Glenstone Ave. 65804? It has a similar look. It used to be a Skaggs Drugstore. I tried to post the link to a picture of it on google maps below. http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&um=1&ie=UTF-8&q=CVS+Springfield+MO&fb=1&split=1&gl=us&cid=0,0,15513162370053881266&ei=UX6cSZQwguo0jpLMlgU&sa=X&oi=local_result&resnum=1&ct=image Are you familiar with the CVS in Springfield, MO located at 1735 S.

Just the other day I was trying to remember where and what this building was. I remember driving by it before I lived near to its former location and just couldn't remember exactly how it appeared. Mystery solved! I’m so glad you posted this. Just the other day I was trying to remember where and what this building was.

By the way, I have this new site set up in my RSS reader, but the on-site URLs it sends me to are wrong (e.g., for this page, it sent me to http://www.beltstl.com/my-favorite-walgreens-235/ instead of http://www.beltstl.com/2009/02/my-favorite-walgreens/). Just a heads up! I remember going any number of times.

Wasn't this originally a Katz Drugstore? I don't recall any original Walgreens with interesting architecture. New blog looks great, BTW. Sniff, I miss this one too.
