Futher, if you want better service through communication from employees don't expect CVS to handle this perhaps it's the shitty DC public schools and the parent(s) that should be teaching proper communication to their teenagers.....read Bill Cosby's new book and you'll be awaken to this. These blogs are quite a time wasting device...my first entry...and hopefully my last.

Bad service there too. There's some idiot girl there I've dealt with twice (I bought something last Friday but had to take it back the next day and she was there both times). Girl goes off in a zone while I place my stuff on the counter. Me: "I'd like to return this please." Girl: (finally coming out of her stoner's coma) "Hawh?" (not even "huh?" but that obnoxious "Hawh?") Me: "I-WOULD-LIKE-TO-RETURN-THIS-PLEASE!" There was another woman there who was rung up by this girl and the poor woman waited patiently for her bag while this girl went into another one of her funky trances. Sorry for getting long-winded, but I'm sick of these horribly run CVS's getting opened up like this---especially when it takes the place of a former historic landmark. “There is also a CVS in a historically designated theater in Brookland.”

You ever ride the 70 bus and seen any of, at least, 3 guys trying to sell you those items out of one of those big stripey plastic shopping bags? Where do you think they get their merchandise? Sweat socks are big item, too. Got me a coupla pairs of them... Oh, yeah…why does CVS lock up lotion, soap and deodorant in some stores?

It was a Peoples that had originally been at the corner of 18th and Columbia where the MacDonalds is now. It shares the space with a cheap sort of dollar store/luggage store that uses the old Ontario marquee to hawk its wares. Back in the 60's the Ontario had the second largest screen in DC, i think, after the Uptown installed a super huge CineRama screen to run the gigantic widescreen movie "How the West Was Won". The Ontario fell on hard times in the 70's but tried to hold on by running triple-features for cheap tickets. They were crappy movies though like "Dracula's Dog" (no lie) and "hotel Hell". Then they started having live music and almost made a comeback They hosted acts like Blondie, The Police on their fist US tour (tickets were $3.00!) and the Village People (I designed the poster for that show, still have a copy of it) and lots of local punk and New Wave acts like Tiny Desk Unit. Ooh, wait, I'm rambling again. Sorry. Damn CVS. The CVS in Adams Morgan is also inside a historic DC theater, The Ontario.
