BOSTON — A major drugstore chain is shutting down another location in Boston in just a matter of days and people who live in the area are concerned that they are now living in a “pharmacy desert.”
The Walgreens at 416 Warren Street in Roxbury will shut its doors for good come Martin Luther King Jr. Day, becoming the chain’s fourth city location to close in a little over a year.
In late 2022, Walgreens suddenly shuttered locations in Mattapan, Hyde Park, and on Washington Street in Roxbury.
Some Boston City Councilors have blasted the company for closing stores in predominantly Black, Brown, and working-class communities.

[Even places in video games shut down if you continually raid them.]
Even NPCs will take only so much abuse.
“The Walgreens at 416 Warren Street in Roxbury will shut its doors for good come Martin Luther King Jr. Day”
How aprapos.
“Ever notice how nice the cars are in the hood?”
Always shiny.
Had black neighbors that were always in trouble with our HOA because they didn’t take care of their yard.
Once the bank repossessed the house a flipper bought it.
In talking to him he stated that house was in the worst shape of any home he had ever rehabbed.....how do you lose a kitchen drawer???
But her Infiniti and his SUV with the fancy wheels were always clean......priorities man!
The folks there need to stop fouling their own nest and then they can have nice things. They have not only deprived themselves of pharmacy services, but also of another place to shop for other things, since about 90% of the stuff in a Walgreens is not medical.
Boston is a bastion of hypocrisy. The slave trade was their bread and butter and once they got cheap Irish labor they sold their slaves to the South they became abolitionists. They then kept blacks in neighborhoods where they didn’t have to live with them and when bussing was forced upon them, long after it had been shoved down southerners throats, they rioted to keep the blacks out of their neighborhood schools. Now they are whining that some aspects of their Utopian society is unruly because they have stripped the LE of their power they no longer have businessmen wanting to be soft targets for the animals. SMH....And don’t mention their acceptance of plagiarism long before this Harvard episode...(ie the allowance of MLK,Jr. to plagiarize his doctoral thesis and award it to him)
Yes they do. Your card / plan becomes part of your profile.
Also agreed. I also buy direct from India.
Maybe they ought to try and figure out a way to reduce shoplifting in predominantly Black, Brown, and working-class communities.
Nobody wants to have a business in a location where their product gets stolen and their employees are in fear of their lives. This is not a difficult concept to grasp.

Looks like a great opportunity for the Christian Scientist church to seek out new members.
Stop robbing the stores and they might stay in business and open.
Would you, please, post any links re: online ordering from Canada. Thank you in advance.
Clearly, the answer is city government run pharmacies. /off SARC
My I have the link?
my local cupcake shop closed and we are worried about a dessert desert.
You fools voted for it. Embrace the suck
Let’s see...
There are food deserts, nike shoe store deserts pharmacy deserts, apple store deserts, even Walmart deserts.
And all those deserts are all in the same places. I wonder what causes that?
They’re genetically incapable of connecting dots.
You do realize that you are a racist for asking, don’t you? ;-}
