A Walgreens is a Walgreens is a Walgreens. The Rd. 68 Walgreens is no different. Its chief drawback is that it is on Rd. 68, and since the opening of the Maverick across the street, not always easy to get in and out of. That said, I appreciate this place for selling the store brand version of Nyquil that still contains a decongestant.

A Walgreens is Walgreens and after being in too many chains to count, one normally doesn’t expect any more than the same old same old. Gayle had left a key piece of makeup at home and as part of an invigorating walk up and down the Road 68 sprawl, we found ourselves here. As Jackson Browne once opined — It’s just another town along the road. The Asian guy that works the counter at this Walgreen’s was really a kick in the pants. One minute he’s joking in Spanish with a customer and the next he’s complimenting Gayle and trying to sell us candy bars(49 cent special). All the while he’s smiling and behaving like he really enjoys working here. Gayle and I left definitely left in a better mood than when we came in. The moral of this story — One might find the Messiah in unexpected places and times. And often it’s good to slow down and pay attention.
