If you live in this neighborhood you may have been waiting and waiting and waiting for the new drugstore to open.You might not have given it as much thought as I have. But I often wondered why a store that looked fully stocked just didn’t wanna open.
Well you can go ahead and blame the bureaucrats. Turns out it’s all due to Red Tape and not the odd behavior of the retail chain. According to one local newspaper, the Greene Clinton Courier, the reason the Walgreene’s can’t open yet is because of a few typos on some forms somewhere.Hmm.Why don’t they just bribe whomever they need to bribe so I can git to shopping?!

Pownce is Shutting Down
If any website like Pownce or Twitter relied on me to keep going they would all close down.Enough already.That said, I sympathize.But seriously when will this particular bubble burst and my friends who know my cell number and real email address will stop myspace commenting me or facebooking me or twittering at me? My real friends!People I actually know prefer to leave messages on a website I rarely visit rather than pick up the phone and call me.My friends kind of suck. The sad thing is we are all around the same age (in our 30’s) so they can’t blame it on the influence of the kids.
Why is the Myrtle Walgreen’s Not Open Yet???
I have been patient.What the @#$%@ is taking so long to open? I go by every other day and still there is that stupid hand written sign saying Walgreen’s will be open soon.Sorry!
There are now tenants moved in the Walgreen’s building’s condos, a new bank across the street and 2 restaurants have come and gone.What gives?It took Trader Joe’s and IKEA Less Time To Open for crying out loud.Ok maybe not IKEA.
Every time I am forced to have to go to downtown Brooklyn to get my drugstore fix I get mad at you, myrtle Walgreen’s.
Revised Fake Grid View
Updated April 19th 2009
If you are using the latest version of the WordPress Shopping Cart plugin, version 3.12.6, please read my latest post on the subject:
“Revised File for Fake Grid View”
The following post is helpful but the file to be downloaded was written for version 3.6.7.
I use wpsc when I mean WordPress Shopping Cart.
Here is a re write of an earlier post on “faking” Grid View(for wordpress shopping cart plugin).
My earlier post did not take into account, beyond styling the page with CSS, the functions in homepage_products_functions.php and how the output of this file varies from the real grid view product display.
So if you have purchased Grid View you should be able to use the Cart Icon button in the Post or Page editor to insert a wpsc category into a Post or Page and have it display just like Grid View,right? I thought so. But it doesn’t work that way.Inserting a single category into a page results in a page that looks a lot like grid view but acts quite differently.
Some key differences between using homepage_products and the grid view
Inserting a wpsc category into a Page(shortcode is for homepage_products) displays a thumbnail gallery of all products from one category and their product titles. If you use “Full” your page will not look like Grid View. If you don’t select Full you will get close to faking Grid View ( if you have the correct CSS to do so). But a Fake Grid View page has one little problem:the thumbnail image does not link to the single product display page(like in Grid View).Instead,it links to the thumbnail image.Which means a thumbnail image will pop up where a full size image should.
