Thursday was the last day of business for the Walgreens at 14th and Broadway in Sacramento. I picked up some items, notably pricey eye vitamins, for cheap.
Inner city drug stores, which flourished in the 90s in Sacramento, have weakened as homelessness, shoplifting, and the omnipresent Amazon have pressed in on them in recent years. First, Rite Aid on Alhambra, and now Walgreens. And not just Sacramento- I understand Safeways have closed in San Francisco.
May the deterioration stop.
