Re: What did this CVS used to be?
The store you are referring to is located at 352 University Ave. Before CVS the building was a Longs Drugs and before that a Woolworth. I believe I took a photo of that store when it was Longs sometime around 2003.

Unfortunately this store is in the process of closing...
Is this the only Safeway to retain its original pylon tower?
