Retail Forever

CVS #1842 Opened:  1993 Address:   1275 Pennsylvania Ave Photographed:  October 2021 Before heading up to Maryland, we have one more drugstore in DC to take a look at -- CVS #1842. CVS #1842, a two-floor store, located just one mile from the Washington Monument and the White House, opened on January 20, 1993, with a much bolder design than it has today. In 2014, the building (including CVS) was remodeled a bit, and the exterior changed, becoming more subtle. As of October 2021, there is no exterior sign with lights, so even though it's open until 10pm (as of 10/26/21), you probably wouldn't see it at that hour unless you knew what you were looking for...

WALGREENS #15953 Opened:  Mid 2010s Address:   1155 F St NW Photographed:  October 2021 For our next stop in Washington, DC, we have another Walgreens, this one located at the intersection of 12th and F streets. After this, we've got one more drugstore in the District of Columbia before moving on to Maryland, and eventually, Pennsylvania. Walgreens #15953, another store with multiple levels (although I'm unsure of exactly how many) opened at some point between June 2014 and July 2015, in a space formerly housing a Guess store. 

CVS #10415 Opened:   Address:   804 Maine Ave SW Photographed:  October 2021 For our second stop in the District of Columbia, we have this CVS in the Wharf shopping district. Next up, another Walgreens. No spoilers as to which one, though ;) CVS #10415, one of 63 (including Target locations) in the District of Columbia, opened on October 12, 2017.

WALGREENS #15360 Opened:  2013 Address:   801 7th St NW Photographed:  October 2021 For our first stop in Washington, DC we have a Walgreens located in the city's Chinatown district. Make sure to stay tuned, as we'll have many more stores from the area throughout the coming weeks! Now, this is something that doesn't happen every day. This Walgreens used to be a CVS . CVS closed on October 23, 2007 in favor of the store at 400 Massachusetts Ave. On February 21, 2013, Walgreens opened its seventh flagship store in the former CVS.  Some unique features of Walgreens #15360 would be the Mandarin and Chinese characters on the facade, translating to the word "pharmacy". Another would be the fact that this store is three levels, totaling over 21,000 square feet.  CVS, August 2007 (Google Maps Streetview) Former CVS, July 2009 (Google Maps Streetview)
