New York will be getting another ubiquitous 711, Duane Reade's, Walgreens, CVS, Rite Aid, and/or Bank of America instead of a sorely needed indie hardware store, pharmacy, art store, clothing shop, thrift store, or fruit market that specifically caters to the community! I'm so stoked about this, I'm fingering my Rite Aid rewards card as we speak and drooling in anticipation of indulging in the Slurpees that defined my childhood growing up in Dullsville, USA. Good times!Amazon Vinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17876729767153167024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-16597005056221802362014-04-25T18:05:26.359-04:002014-04-25T18:05:26.359-04:00I discovered this kind of store when my old father...I discovered this kind of store when my old father lived with us after my mother's death. They're like hardware stores: oh, there's a thing for that? Who knew "that" even existed? But when you do need a "that," thank god for these stores. So, where are people supposed to go now?

Prosaic reminders of mortality. Neergaard on 5th in Brooklyn, with its beautiful neon sign, has been around since the 1880s, and is always a good alternative to the RiteAids and CVSes nearby. Have bought crutches and a second hand wheelchair at Neergaard, but not (thank God) for myself (yet!).onemorefoldedsunsethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05995652957356064546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-683382864156505640.post-60045153263855333912014-04-23T15:55:26.498-04:002014-04-23T15:55:26.498-04:00keep us posted. yogart? cell phone? yogart? too sm...keep us posted. yogart? cell phone? yogart? too small for a duane reades? my bet is on frozen yogart or 7/11. place your bets now. if you need a cane, thats just too bad.
