Dear neighbors. You wrote long ago in April of 2008. Now is January 2009. Look at the place now. Soooo clean, soooo friendly, very GOOD prices compare to ride aid. The place always keep the shelves full. I transfered my family prescriptions to this pharmacy across from ride aid , and very sutisfied with pharmacist. The precriptions she is doing in 10-15 min, that i don’t need to wait like in Ride aid . They have such a friendly atmosfere. Dear friends you can’t even compare them to other Ride aid or other 2 pharmacy across from them. One wich was in one spot for 30 years so discusting , durty and small that i would never even shop there. This MB pharmacy is hav great prices for all surgical supplies 50% less than in any other stores from them. Plus I am very happy for them that Ride Aid will go out of bussiness. I AM VERY SUTISFIED CUSTOMER! Email me if you need more information Kuklaone2001@yahoo.com

The windows are substantially obscured by large posters in the windows, such that one can’t really see into the store. This beats having to look at messy, chaotic shelves once the place opens. And it sure beats the tacky curtains that the dry cleaner a few doors down hangs in their window every night.

Walked by it this morning and it seems to be shaping up into something. Saw some boxes of normal-ish drug store goods being stacked into shelves. It doesn’t quite look as depressing as I imagined. Yet.

There was a bank in that location for a long time. Chemical merged that branch with the one on Continental years ago. As we had done personal and business banking in that branch for a number of years I remember it as a very quiet branch which is why they closed it. If a bank were to open a smaller savings bank might be more appropriate, a commercial bank which relies on business banking would likely pass. If Cord Meyer could have gotten a bank for that spot they would have. As a matter of fact the reason they even had the branch in that building was their relationship with Chemical at the time. Because of my father’s business relationship with the branch at that time we friendly with the Branch Mgt and the Regional VP who maintained his office there and they intimated at the time it was why there was a branch there.

There used to be more interesting stores in Forest Hills. They got chased out by the ever-increasing rents.

All of this makes me really sad. I’ve just moved into the co-op on top of this store and had wild hopes for something fun, interesting or at the very least useful taking over that HUGE abandoned store space.

That location really does need a BANK! Its the best fit.

With that being said, Forest Hills is just a replication of shoddy stores over and over again. The good stuff never goes to Forest Hills.

I spoke to the RiteAid manager tonight and he knew nothing about it. Hopefully this was just a false rumor….

As is sometimes done, one of the parties to the lease elected to record with the NYC Register a “memorandum of lease,” which contains the information regarding the length of the lease and of the options. The info is available for public viewing online. Maybe there’s something else going on, but it does seem unlikely that it’s skyrocketing rent.
