I visited Beacon, NY for a few days to go to the DIA: Beacon modern art museum. Unfortunately, I…read moreforgot my pills, and they were essential!!! Worse: it was during Thanksgiving, so many local pharmacies were closed or with reduced hours. Enter Vogel Pharmacy, courtesy of my Google search. They not only knew exactly what to do to get my prescription from CVS (New York City) but promptly got the stuff ready. There's more. Because my insurance company is horrible, they under-cover the amount of migraine medication I need (only 9 tablets per months). I often have to pay out of pocket if I use more, and I've taken to using GoodRx, an app that negotiates -- much like insurance companies -- with pharmacies to get reduced out-of-pocket rates. (When you think about it, it's kind of an unsettling business model dependent on our donut hole of a health care system.) Vogel Pharmacy told me that the "good rate" GoodRx had was actually a total scam and inflated and that they could reduce the price by almost 80%. They could have been dishonest and just gone with the GoodRx rate, but they didn't. Integrity! Not enough of it, but it was here in Beacon. In the past, you know I've been an 1848 Communist Manifesto socialist -- one who believes that centralized economic systems are a critical springboard to eventual state takeover, then communal 'withering of the state." And I'm typically skeptical of small-is-beautiful localism (see my forthcoming book ALL HEALTH POLITICS IS LOCAL for a meditation on this). But Vogel Pharmacy make me reconsider; would CVS have done this for me? Not a chance.

One star can really drag you down, which is a real shame, especially with a place that has a great variety of classy merchandise and a friendly staff that goes out of its way to help. If you need a gift, a card, an amusing trinket for your home or car, beautiful pottery, a funny sign, wind chimes, candy, jewelry, scarves or shawls or seasonal doodads etc. etc., this is the only nice place for miles and miles where you're always guaranteed to find something tasteful, and can browse all you please without any pressure at all. Oh, and they also sell cosmetics and household necessities, hair stuff and makeup as well as the usual pharmaceutical remedies, both over-the-counter and prescription.
