The developers of the Walgreens pharmacy proposed for the old American Legion building on Magazine Street will share a new design for the store with neighbors tonight (Wednesday, Sept. 28).
Previous renovation plans called for a modern-style glass façade to the building that some neighbors complained did not fit the streetscape on the Magazine. “Walgreen’s has changed architects since the last public meeting, and its new design reflects a more ‘traditional’ approach,” according to the nearby Hurstville Security and Neighborhood Improvement District.
The meeting, deemed a “briefing” on the latest design by City Councilwoman Susan Guidry, will be from 5:30 to 6 p.m. at the American Legion hall at 5518 Magazine Street.
