A pharmacy for 6th Street and Avenue C

Signage for EV Pharmacy has arrived on the NE corner of Sixth Street and Avenue C. (Thanks to EVG reader Jill W. for the top photo and tip!) 

This will be the first retail tenant in the newly constructed six-story residential building, which some readers think resembles an old Western prison. 

We currently don't have any information about EV Pharmacy. It's another independent business that will fill the void as more chain stores, like Rite Aid, close. (See this EVG post for other indie pharmacies in the area.) 

Before the new building construction at 699 E. Sixth St., the lot had been empty since a gas station closed on the property in the early 1980s; it later served as a trash-art garden.
