I heard on the radio today that, due to cell phones, and those other things, like blueberrys and strawberrys, sorry, I’m just (NOT) being funny, which tell the time, young people don’t wear watches anymore. There was some worthless statistic like two thirds of teenagers don’t wear watches. But I don’t think ANY teenagers wear watches.
This is something I was already thinking about when I went to Walgreen’s a month ago and tried to buy a cheap wristwatch and found out they NO LONGER CARRIED wristwatches. Not that you can’t buy them at some other shit store, but still, this was, to me, an alarming development.
Talking about Walgreens, I just went by the corner of S. 27th and National where the National Liquor Bar (with the best lighted sign in Milwaukee) USED TO BE before Walreens tore it down to build a new store there. The new store is open and it’s just as hideous and boring as all the other new Walgreens stores all around the country that are being built on the very ground where there used to be something interesting.
But even worse, the OLD Walgreens store, just across the street sits empty, and probably will sit empty, too ugly, big, and expensive for any kind of local buisness to move into. The same goes for the Walgreens that closed downtown YEARS ago.
Walgreens is ruining towns all across the country. Are they worse than Wal-Mart yet? Are they related? What’s with those names? Walgreens opens a new store every 17 hours. (I just read that.) Soon there will be one, if they aren’t stopped, right on top of your poor, lifeless form.
