Go for it. Get the booze and the drugs in one quick stop. Sleeping pills and cheap wine are an especially attractive combo.

Is there ANYTHING the old ladies in this county don't oppose?
It is getting to be laughable. I pray for the day when they legalize marijuana and gambling.
The old biddies will ask for a wing at Stanford be built with the money left to them by forty niners.

Won't it be interesting to see how Maureen Hogan weighs in on this one when she isn't backed by the Beltramos.

I support it. All this political hot air, restricting free enterprise and open competition gives me a headache. The wine will calm my nerves. I can save gas and reduce traffic by going to just one store.

So we want people to drive around town and pollute our plantet when they can get it all they need in one place? Beltramos doesn't sell hycolonic solutions.

Honestly, it does seem a tad unnecessary when Trader Joe's is so close, but I deeply grok the uber-convenience factor.

On another note, as often as we shop at Walgreen's, I've never thought of it as having a "family-oriented home town atmosphere" & I don't mean to insult the store. As fun as drugstore shopping can be, call me old-fashioned, but I prefer family get togethers, picnics in the park, The Nativity Carnival & community gathering places to Walgreen's for "family-oriented home town atmosphere."

As for disturbances - well, small children there cause many a disturbance - their mighty shrieks, grabs in the toy aisle, etc. are a "public disturbance" if you want to be picky, which Ms. Rosasco comes across as.

Imagine the convenience of shopping at Walgreen's, buying a card for someone & grabbing them a lovely bottle of hooch when you pick up you anti-anxiety meds. Perfect convenience!
