It's really nice having a clean, expansive pharmacy in downtown Phoenix. Most people take this sort of thing for granted. Let's just hope it stays that way.
This is one of the biggest pharmacies I've ever been in, and the mini grocery aisle and rather giant selection of beverages will be a hit with the lunch crowd and the ASU students.
They purposely didn't stock 40s or single-serve liquor bottles, which should help keep the scuzz down to a minimum. I'm confident this store will remain nice, despite its "urban" environment and insanely close proximity to transit.
The best part? Suburban prices. See, CVS (and Walgreens and other national pharmacies) have two price models: one for "urban" stores and one for "suburban" stores. Urban ones charge big-city prices. Suburban ones don't. Despite being Phoenix's flagship urban location, this CVS chose to go with suburban prices to accommodate transit users, students and those moving quickly through CityScape. I dig that.
