It appears that McBee Avenue's sidewalk is about ready to be reopened to the public! It will be nice to not have to cross the street to bypass the construction anymore. Although, the addition of the drugstore will have made the inconvenience well worth it.


Also, I like the CVS signs that extend out from the building. Well done!

^ Yes, nice to see the city required the standard (though modified) shingle style sign for a national retailer like CVS.

New CVS opened today. I did my part and bought several items. Might just be me but it seems to be a larger store than most other CVS's I have been inside.

Oh noes....a national retailer. Downtown is doomed for good now:

[Greenville]

This is my first time seeing the CVS. I like it! Blends really well with its surroundings.

[GvilleSC]

Yea, they did an excellent job with the CVS development. The experience on Main and on McBee are quite pleasant as a pedestrian.

[B&R]

While it would have been good to have had a taller building there, this development really does blend in well. It looks like it has been there for years.
