By all rights, I ought to remember Ravenwood Pharmacy<\/i>. It was in the 1970 phonebook, so I would have been nine at the time, and I recall a lot of stuff from 1970. It was also near to Trenholm Park<\/i> where we went from time to time and shared a parking lot with the Covenant Road Piggly Wiggly<\/a> where my mother sometimes (though admittedly not often) shopped. Add to that the fact that presumably it lasted several years beyond 1970, and I'm a bit mystified by why I can't recall it at all. I suppose the fact that we filled almost all our prescriptions at Campbell's Drugs<\/a> must explain it.<\/p>\n

This real estate listing<\/a> says the building was built in 1960, and I assume the Pharmacy was the first tenant. The second tenant was Forest Lake TV<\/a> in its second location. I can't recall any tenants after that (though I would have been living out of town at the time) -- certainly the building has been empty for at least five years now.<\/p>\n

UPDATE 31 July 2010<\/b> -- Looks like it's to be a thrift store now:<\/p>\n

UPDATE 11 September 2010<\/b> -- Apparently that's not going to happen:<\/p>\n

UPDATE 20 June 2016<\/b> -- Something looks to be happening here again:<\/p>\n
