Hy-Vee Drugstore

In Ames, I notice the Hy-​Vee brand in several places. There are 2 grocery stores at opposite ends of the Lincoln Highway, and associated Liquor Stores and Gasoline Stations. There’s also this Drug Store, which looks to be part of a yet-​to-​be realized development initiative at and around the old Train Station.
Gayle was at a Salon at the Train Station getting her nails done. After all, my fabulous wife must mind the beauty details! However, with the Iowa humidity, she would probably go for shorter hair if we actually lived here. Since this takes time, I decided to walk down Main Street and look around.
After walking around the Train Station and admiring the architecture (and the safety fence near the tracks), I first wandered into Hy-​Vee Drugstore and for some air conditioned relief. This place is a lot larger than it looks from the outside. They have a nice selection of the usual stuff, plus gifts and wine/​beer. I ended up buying a padded wine holder to later (and successfully) take back a bottle of Templeton Rye Whiskey back to Iowa. I’ll probably be back the next time I’m in town for any travel-​related supplies or to just kill a little time.
