Last month, we confirmed that CVS was indeed coming to South Street West, replacing a surface parking lot.

In the past

The other day, we noticed that work has begun at the site at 22nd and South Sts., with the old fence removed, concrete and dirt moved around, and some lovely, mature trees coming down.

Present day

Another angle

It’s certainly a shame to see the greenery eliminated at the expense of the new construction, but we can’t say we expected this extremely desirable lot to remain a surface parking lot for much longer. Hopefully, they’ll have room to plant a couple of new trees in their little parking lot.

Coming soon
