ReplyDeleteEstroff vanished and now CVS...they will transfer prescriptions. Ask them for particulars.
ReplyDeletePoor Rocco's...They really are the best. Some fool probably found mistook a chocolate chip for a cockroach and called the DOH. I don't want to eat or be exposed to filth, but so very few of places the DOH shutters qualify as anywhere near unacceptable. It's mostly an extortion racket, and the A,B,C etc. ratings are the worst that ever happened to independent business in the city.
ReplyDeleteDamn....I always liked that little pharmacy. They carried a great selection of holistic remedies and a helpful staff. Nice, friendly vibe in there. A shame.
