Walgreens

Any business that’s open 24 hours a day is all right in my book. This Walgreens location has the added benefit of a private parking lot, a relatively new building and a spacious, open, well-​lighted feel, which makes it seem like a bit of an urban oasis. Located right next to the Newark Police Department’s Vailsburg Task Force headquarters, I’d venture to say this location also enjoys a better-​than-​average security record.
The sign out front advertises a drive-​through pharmacy window, though I have yet to see anyone actually motor on through.
When they supervisor is around, service seems to be a little better than other times. Although the checkout lines do move relatively quickly, they’ll sometimes get backed up due to the lack of adequate staffing. Yet it’s only a minor inconvenience for an otherwise welcome neighborhood amenity.
