I know. I've been slacking. I've been going through a lot of issues and I haven't had the motivation to post anything. But I'm working on it. So sorry to any of my readers (if i have any.) I promise that I will post a lot more often, but please be patient. And I will also work on making my posts better quality.
I want to share with you a piece of history and my newfound discovery that I learned the other day. Maybe it's apparent to everyone else except me, but I was taking a walk through my new neighborhood of Chinatown, TriBeCa, and the Financial District. I came across Duane and Reade streets, both with Duane Reade drug stores of the corner of the blocks, leading me to wonder about the origin of the New York City chain. I found out that, in fact, the first Duane Reade Pharmacy opened in 1960 between Duane and Reade streets on Broadway, right where I passed by.
Also, yesterday I needed to get a prescription filled and it was called in to a little pharmacy called "Aid Pharmacy" on Walker Street between Lafayette and Centre. Let me tell you, it is a sketchy place. Maybe it's just me, but I don't really trust little places like that. I like to go to Walgreens or Duane Reade, where it feels more legit. I felt like I was walking into a sex trafficking building. The label on my prescription is in Chinese, and I was so scared to take it. It was just supposed to be antibiotics but I was so scared that it was going kill me or something.
And on yet another tangent, I found this post from the VOICE blog. It would be awesome if MTV made a show about hipsters. It would be pretty hilarious.You could definitely make a drinking game out of it.
