We’re hearing that the pharmacy in Walgreens on Pine Street has been closed since Wednesday. A post on the company’s website notes the pharmacy’s “temporary” closure (the rest of the store is open), and a note on the door says there are “system issues”: “We are waiting for a tech from Verizon to troubleshoot and can’t do anything until then.” The nearest open Walgreens pharmacies are in Stamford and Norwalk, the sign said.

Captain Jack LLC, owner of 32 units in the brick condo complex on Heritage Hill Road, on June 10 filed in state Superior Court to evict a tenant in one of them. The tenant had signed a lease from June 1, 2021 through May 31, 2022 at $2,550 per month, the complaint said. The lease has terminated due to “lapse of time,” it said. In addition, two other tenants who had occupied the apartment starting three years prior, in June 2018, and still reside there, are being evicted since they never had a right to live there, the complaint said. Captain Jack LLC purchased the unit in February 2017 for $330,000, tax records show.
