“Dear PoPville,
I don’t know if you’ve had occasion to visit this new “CVS.” But it’s literally just the pharmacy counter and that’s it. Obviously fine for its main purpose and Safeway is more or less across the street, but still kind of annoying they got rid of literally everything but the pharmacy.”
All the info about the new spot from a press release:
“CVS Health® (NYSE: CVS) unveiled its first pharmacy-focused, apothecary-style CVS Pharmacy® location in Washington, DC.

“Dear PoPville,
This morning in Adams Morgan I saw a woman sitting in the bus stop with a walker slide to the ground seemingly unconscious and twitching. None of the people waiting for the bus had any Narcan and so my friend and I went into Medstar Urgent Care, just feet away, to see if they had any on hand or could help assess the situation. The women behind the desk didn’t get up and said that they didn’t have any Narcan and there was nothing they could do other than call 911.
