Rite Aid display window update

Five weeks ago I reported that the display windows that the City of Rochester required on the Goodman Street side of the new Rite Aid were still vacant except for generic Rite Aid posters that had been glued to the back walls of the display windows (a couple of which had come unglued to sag against the glass). Yesterday I noticed that the store management has now glued new generic Rite Aid posters to the INSIDE OF THE GLASS, effectively turning the display windows into part of the exterior wall. (I’ll try to get a photo to post here.) And such a windowless wall is exactly what the city was trying to prevent when it required Rite Aid to put in the display windows. I also learned from a city zoning board member that the developer of the Rite Aid said he’d allow the windows to be used by community groups and such; I called the store to find out if this usage is in the works, and the assistant manager I reached said he thought the general manager was indeed planning to offer the windows to community and neighborhood organizations. When will plan become reality? Stay tuned!!!

    Sorry that I just noticed your comment…but yes, I noticed this as well. It’s quite an angle they chose for that shot. But I’m sure it was intentional. It may have been a welcome in the window by many, but surely not the highest or best (or even good) choice for the display window.
