Sometimes it feels like drug stores are taking over the world. They’re like the Starbucks of the 21st century, but really you just can’t overestimate the convenience of a good Walgreens or CVS. The residents of the condo towers facing Museum Park will have to suffer through the inconvenience of not having shampoo, Ex Lax, OxyClean, band-aids, and beer within walking distance no longer! CVS is opening on the ground floor of Marina Blue on Monday, Independence Day. God Bless America!
UPDATE: CVS opened Saturday at 3 PM.
Frost Science Museum to be Completed by the End of the Year. Seriously.

Construction of the Frost Museum of Science has been a long, slow process, but according to the Miami Herald we are finally seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Due to a new funding plan put in place, and about $20 million in cuts to exhibits and features, construction on the museum is back on track to be completed by the end of the year. The fish will be put in the aquarium by October to give them time to acclimatize to their new environment, and the Frost Science Museum will open to the public by early next year.
Once the Frost Science Museum opens, its new director Frank Steslow will be firmly in place (Gillian Thomas is stepping down today), and the museum will have to do without a planned $4 million yearly subsidy from the county which has been reprogrammed into a $45 million construction grant. But Miami’s fantastic new science museum will finally be open, and hopefully that will make all the difference.
