Walgreens does not offer free delivery. Whether it's an old guy in need of hemorrhoid cream, a young mother needing antibiotics for a screaming toddler with an ear infection, or a healthy Olympian marathoner who's out of eggs. . . they'll at times all find a parking lot convenient.
That's not to say the parking should be unscreened, or its placement should be unregulated. It's not even an argument that zoning should permit this type of building here. But let's remember that the original question,
the one to which I was responding, was "Why the hell do [Walgreens] need a parking lot across the street from the Brown Line?" And the simple answer is that Walgreens thinks it will make more sales with a parking lot than without one. You could even invert the question: why would a Walgreens with a parking lot want to be near the Brown Line? Same answer: they think it will help them sell more stuff. Even the Walgreens at Noel State Bank, in the heart of Wicker Park, has convenience parking.

Mr. D will likely not have a response, he'll just stay quiet and make another irritating, coy & antagonizing comment to some other post 2 weeks from now. He lacks the ability to defend his assertions beyond a single, initial post.

Any time I feel my original post has made a complete and cogent argument, I think of it as impolite to belabor the point in follow-up posts. The argument will stand or fall on its logic, not the number of times it's repeated.
