It's called urban planning
It sounds like the state planning who are the winners and who are the losers. You introduce unwarranted emotion by making the choice one between a "museum" or a drug store. Oh gosh, that's always the choice our precious museums!
Why should your local leaders decide that Walgreen's gets a store and Eckerds doesn't? Seems like a recipe for making local government officials accept money under the table and for driving away jobs.
Actually, FRiend, directly across the street from Walgreens new store is an old museum, and a 200 foot oil derick donated to the town.....and the street out front is called Route 66...and just down the road about 1 mile is the Route 66 museum. The name of the town is Elk City Oklahoma. Talk of something you know, then you won't appear ignorant when you get a response.
