Neergard Pharmacy, the one on Seventh Avenue between La Bagel Delght and Citibank got rid of their wierd plexiglass gerbil cage, maze-like entrance. Thrilled.

I never understood why they had that thing. It was impossible with strollers. I hated it and am sure it kept a lot of people out of the store.

Well, they got smart and axed it. Now they have a normal entrance. Woo Hoo. The health system in this country is bad enough without the added difficulty of a pleixglass maze to get into a pharmacy.

Truth is, I don’t use their pharmacy services as I am a loyalist to Frank at Plama – the very nice white haired man. But I do do Neergard for other drug store items — they have interesting stuff in there.

Now without the plexi, I won’t have to think twice about going. Not that I have a stroller. I guess it was a psychological (and plexi) barrier that came between me and the store.

The Neergard on Fifth Avenue is open 24-hours, which can be a godsend in an emergency. That store is also plex-free. Thank goodness.
