Help me, having been a part of the neighborhood process that brought Walgreens to
White Bear and Larp. we are pleased to have them there. The developer for Walgreens
met with the neighborhood early and often. Walgreens agreed to locate the building
close to White Bear to create a streetscape, added additional windows at the District
Council's request and built in a transit stop.
The design standards in the Hillcrest neighborhood of Saint Paul were developed before
Maplewood's and Maplewood mimicked our requirements!
The Walgreens replaced a pawn shop that greated people entering the City of Saint Paul
with a large sign that read "We Buy Guns" and two other cement block buildings. It
may not be the Trump Tower, but for those of us that have been trying to breath new
life into White Bear Avenue it is a big step forward.
