CVS to build fence around planned Carrboro store site

By Tammy Grubb
 
CVS will put a fence around both of its properties at the corner of North Greensboro and Weaver streets in response to Saturday’s occupation of the site, representatives said Wednesday.
 
“We had initially decided not to put a chain-link fence around the properties, because it would make it even more of an eyesore in the community, but in light of this weekend’s events, we will be securing our properties ASAP,” said CVS Caremark representative Leigh Polzella.
 
The fourth neighborhood meeting held in Town Hall was largely uneventful, despite plans by members of Carrboro Commune and Occupy Chapel Hill-Carrboro to announce their idea of a “guerilla garden” on the site. Some members of the local Occupy movements did make suggestions at the meeting, including that CVS should take a loss and give the properties back to the community.

Demonstrators plan "guerilla gardening" project on proposed Carrboro CVS site

A group of demonstrators that briefly occupied a building at 201 N. Greensboro St. Saturday say they'll plant a garden on the property to protest a CVS store planned for the site.

The group called Carrboro Commune includes members of the local anarchist community and Occupy Chapel Hill-Carrboro movements. On Monday, Occupy said it did not endorse the building takeover, which ended when police ordered the demonstrators out or said they would arrest them. (Read that story here.) 

On Sunday, demonstrators huddled in the cold outside the building and decided to plant the garden as the next step in their protest against the 24-hour drug store, which would replace the CVS across the street in the Carr Mill Mall shopping center. They plan to announce the "guerilla gardening" project at a meeting with developers at 7 p.m. Wednesday in Town Hall.  The developers plan to present the latest version of their plans for the store at the meeting.

Sunday deals are up (Feb. 5-11)

You can pick up FREE cough syrup at CVS, FREE Stayfree pads at Rite Aid and FREE Valentine's candy and aspirin at Walgreens. But the best bargains of the week are on basics: milk and eggs.

Pick up milk for $2.88 per gallon at Kroger and a dozen eggs for 99 cents at Walgreens. And if either store happens to be out of stock, be sure to get rain checks. And remember, WalMart and Target will price match.

Read on for all the best deals this week at CVS, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Kerr Drug and Kroger. These are the deals that stood out to me so please jump in and leave a comment if you spotted a bargain. That way, we can all save.
