Today we’re going to start the first installment on a series aimed at examining how Rite-Aid has aggressively targeted historic buildings at main intersections of small towns across the United States. Today’s piece is an older one, coming from writer Joshua Benton’s blog, found here,  with further information provided by Sprawl Busters, located here.

It is a reprint of an article he wrote for the Toledo Blade almost eleven years ago, in December 1998, and holds information markedly similar to what Beachwood is facing today. The Toledo Blade can be found here.

Be sure to check this site Sunday as we begin uploading the entire downtown Beachwood Rite Aid Proposal Plan, as submitted to the borough for review. Read the rest of this entry »
