I just think that its ironic that there's nobody claiming "I'll never shop at Walgreen's" when they knocked down TWO full blown Polynesian themed Icons - The Lanai and the Kahiki. I'm proud to admit that I have not shopped at Walgreen's since they tore down the Kahiki (and I never will). I also won't buy Kahiki frozen food but that's a whole other topic. I have never been to Kohls (probably because I have never seen one here in my area). Now I don't think I will shop there simply because I feel practically helpless when it comes to stopping the onslaught of tearing down the old and making everything look one way: UGLY. And about the only thing I can do to stop it is to not give the chain stores my money. I don't know about all of you but I don't want my only shopping choices to be Target or Home Depot or Kohl's. I like the customer service at my neighborhood grocery store and hardware store. It's purely a personal decision and I wouldn't knock anyone else for shopping where they want, but I think the urban landscape is becoming too monotonous and boring and as long as it makes me feel better boycotting Walgreen's than I'm going to keep doing it.
