The Davis Square Community

I heard the big chains will take a loss for years in order to accomplish that. Like an invetment. It is their investment in our community. I guess this issue is about more than saving a few bucks or service with a smile, it’s about the changing face of our neighborhoods for the worse in some ways. Many of these chains are pharmacies in name only. These stores sell prescription drugs, but often as an afterthought, pegging their profits to things like beach balls, potato chips and magazines. On the other hand, neighborhood pharmacies are an essential ingredient to a community's unique flavor. They serve as a ties that bind clients to their surrounding neighborhood. Hopefully we can make this up in taxes or something. Make these chains build some parks or at least keep some trees in their parking lots.. I hope our politicians are'nt completely givning away the store here. Here is what NY is doing, Maybe they are doing something like this in mass too, I just don't know: http://www.house.gov/weiner/report031109.htm
