New Walgreens is open; Milam's is making changes

The new Walgreens is open at US1 and Bird Ave., not a bit too soon. It's a little out of the way, but worth the drive. Anything to avoid that CVS on Grand Avenue.

At the CVS, they feel that customer service is one cashier for every 15 people. If you need to get in and out fast, this is not the place, prepare to wait a half hour or so to pay for a stick of gum.

Worst customer service in town.

The old Walgreens next to Milam's was getting a bit run down, so now that they have the new store up on the highway, it's a good thing. The folks at Milam's are already out there today with their survey crews, so they should be ready to start their renovation soon.

The Walgreens liquor store closed already at the old location, but a local liquor store will now be squeezed in between the new Milam's and the Home Depot. This is the Grove, can't have too many liquor stores I guess.

But all that being said, if you do need drug store items, the best place in the Grove is the Coconut Grove Pharmacy at 3001 SW 27 Avenue, across from Slice 'N Ice.
