Planning commision say's no to Walgreens.

Walgreen's was again in found of the planning commission looking to get a spot in the Kenwood area. The store has been trying for a number of years to get a store in the Kenwood area.

Every time is has been meet with rejection from neighbors and business's in the area. The planning commission however has always approved the project. The council has then declined to follow there lead. This time they did not allow the project to pass the commission.

The issues of vacating an alley which Walgreen's wants will now go in front of the city council. It would seem this has little chance of passing the council after the commission denied it.

The above is cross posted at www.duluthnewsnow.com .

I think this is a good thing. I love Walgreen's and do a lot of shopping there. I think however this would ruin the Kenwood area. It would also hurt a long standing local business. As much as I like shopping at Walgreen's I also love our local shops and try to shop at them just as much.

What's wrong with Walgreens? What is wrong with putting one in Kenwood?
