Goodbye CVS/Pharmacy, Top Dog, and Payless

My husband and I started shopping at the large drug store at Broadway and Pleasant Valley Road when it was Long's Drugstore.  It later became CVS/Pharmacy but the only change to the store was the name.  It was a great place to shop because it was clean, it had friendly staff, and you could almost buy anything there.  There was a key maker at the entrance of the store.  When you were done shopping you could pick up a hot dog at Top Dog which was opposite of the key maker.  We also loved to shop at the Payless Shoe Store in the same shopping complex.  It was a great place to purchase our daughter's shoes.  Now this is all gone.  The local newspaper reported that Safeway will take over the space.  The businesses servicing the working and middle class families are leaving.
