Boulevardizen Time Machine: Peoples Drug Store on Boulevard

January 20, 2010 - 6:47pm | by Peter

This week we visit the intersection of West Broad Street and Boulevard where the old People's Drug Store once stood. This photo is taken with Broad Street in the foreground and with North Boulevard in the background (towards I-95).

CVS purchased this location and the entire Peoples chain of drug stores in 1990, taking on the CVS name in 1994 and replacing the structure several years later.

Thanks to the Library of Virginia's Flickr collection for sharing this and many other great photos of Richmond's past.

We used to eat at the lunch

We used to eat at the lunch counter in the wee hours of the morning. I can still taste the eggs and blts. A visit to All-Night Peoples was always an adventure.
