    I love that there's a Walgreens downtown, easily accessible via the skywalk. But I hate that it's…read moreclosed on Sunday. Not even open between noon and 5. Nothing. A Walgreens....closed on Sunday. So, no one lives downtown on Sunday? Do they all die and resurrect on Monday morning? Help me understand why a Walgreens on street level in downtown Des Moines is closed on a Sunday (or closes early any other day) when they could make a killing off the people who live, work, and party at the bars, apartments, and offices that literally surround the store's location. Walgreens, are you insane? Do you not see the money walking right past your locked doors?

    I feel so lucky we have the downtown Walgreens. If you have a question for a pharmacist, or need…read moresomething on the medial side (glucose tabs, emergency blood sugar test strips, etc), tooth paste, shampoo, or heck you just want a bag of chips! The Walgreens is one stop shop for so many things us downtowners don't have in walking distance! If want to print some photos, If you want to buy a b-day card, or if you just want to find candy hearts for V-day! It's all here! The staff is always really nice and they have a frequent customer card that you can get deals on things! You can get to this location through the skywalks, and the hours are very convenient for the hustle and bustle of downtown residence! Until we have a grocery store downtown, this is a must have in the downtown area for pharmacy needs or for those quick things you may need in a hurry! Toilet Paper anyone?

    In Ames, I notice the Hy-Vee brand in several places. There are 2 grocery stores at opposite ends…read moreof the Lincoln Highway, and associated Liquor Stores and Gasoline Stations. There's also this Drug Store, which looks to be part of a yet-to-be realized development initiative at and around the old Train Station. Gayle was at a Salon at the Train Station getting her nails done. After all, my fabulous wife must mind the beauty details! However, with the Iowa humidity, she would probably go for shorter hair if we actually lived here. Since this takes time, I decided to walk down Main Street and look around. After walking around the Train Station and admiring the architecture (and the safety fence near the tracks), I first wandered into Hy-Vee Drugstore and for some air conditioned relief. This place is a lot larger than it looks from the outside. They have a nice selection of the usual stuff, plus gifts and wine/beer. I ended up buying a padded wine holder to later (and successfully) take back a bottle of Templeton Rye Whiskey back to Iowa. I'll probably be back the next time I'm in town for any travel-related supplies or to just kill a little time.

    I get my prescriptions at Hy-Vee Drugtown. I like that the lines are shorter here. I am sensitive…read moreto medication changes and they will make sure I stay on the same generic which I appreciate. I can get every vitamin here and expert help from the pharmacists on which to choose. I mean, this is not life changing but I can avoid the lines at other places and receive decent service.
