The project is officially off the table and the Alhambra Corridor will remain as it is. I am still in shock that our small group managed to stop this but it is entirely because of your help. Thank you for protecting our neighborhood.

Ridiculous. We dont need another 24 hour pharmacy. There are like 3 within walking distance. Leave our local shops alone.

Please dont let them tear it down. Alhambra is a local gem and shouldnt be turned into a corporate parking lot.

We have enough pharmacies already. Why ruin a perfectly good historic block for another chain store nobody asked for?

KEEP WALGREENS OUT. This city is losing its character one block at a time. Enough with the big box stores.
