Porter Square Walgreens closing

[keithn.livejournal.com]

While not Davis Square, this is still likely of interest since I'm sure many of us are regularly in Porter Square - the Walgreens there is closing on July 30.

It will probably be a shock to few that this store failed, although I'm somewhat surprised that it failed so quickly.

Hmm. Wiki says Shaw's bought Star in 1999, and now I recall my customer card working at both Porter Shaw's and Beacon st. Star a few years ago. But at some points they rebranded Porter to Star, and dropped the cards, and dropped the Porter self-checkout (Beacon never had it.)

I thought I was told the card-drop was related to some ownership change, but dunno.

I've only been to those two and haven't noticed the music much. Beacon's in Somerville, of course.
