It was nice to see a neighbourhood independent pharmacy survives and perhaps even thrives in a market dominated by giant retail chains.
Palma Chemists Drugstore on the corner of 7th Avenue and Garfield Place, with the Old First Reformed Church steeple visible in the distance. A neighborhood drugstore. Park Slope, Brooklyn.

“DCI Lily,” said Sally, “there’s been a break-in at the local chemist.”
“I see,” replied Lily, “anybody injured?”
“Afraid so ma’am,” said Sally. “Molly Cule, murdered at the scene.”
“Darn,” replied Lily. “Was anything stolen?”
“Yes,” said Sally checking her notes. “300 bottles of Viagra.”
“Well it would appear,” said Lily, “we may be looking for a hardened criminal.”

American actor Gregory Peck (1916-2003) was one of the most popular film stars from the 1940s to the 1960s. Peck received five nominations for Academy Award for Best Actor and won once – for his performance as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (1962). He almost always played courageous, nobly heroic good guys who saw injustice and fought it. Among his best known films are Spellbound (1945), The Yearling (1946), Gentleman's Agreement (1947), Roman Holiday (1953), The Guns of Navarone (1961), and Cape Fear (1962).
Eldred Gregory Peck was born in 1916 in La Jolla, California (now in San Diego). His parents were Bernice Mary (Ayres) and Gregory Pearl Peck, a chemist, and druggist in San Diego. His parents divorced when he was five years old. An only child, he was sent to live with his grandmother. He never felt he had a stable childhood. His fondest memories are of his grandmother taking him to the cinema every week and of his dog, which followed him everywhere. Peck's father encouraged him to take up medicine. He studied pre-med at UC-Berkeley and, while there, got bitten by the acting bug and decided to change the focus of his studies. He enrolled in the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York and debuted on Broadway after graduation. His debut was in Emlyn Williams' play 'The Morning Star' (1942). By 1943, he was in Hollywood, where he debuted in the RKO film Days of Glory (Jacques Tourneur, 1944). Stardom came with his next film, The Keys of the Kingdom (John M. Stahl, 1944), for which he was nominated for an Oscar. Tony Fontana at IMDb: "Peck's screen presence displayed the qualities for which he became well known. He was tall, rugged and heroic, with a basic decency that transcended his roles." He appeared opposite Ingrid Bergman in Alfred Hitchcock's Spellbound (1945) as an amnesia victim accused of murder. In The Yearling (Clarence Brown, 1946), he was again nominated for an Oscar and won the Golden Globe. He was especially effective in Westerns and appeared in such varied fare as David O. Selznick's critically blasted Duel in the Sun (King Vidor, 1946), the somewhat better received Yellow Sky (William A. Wellman, 1948), and the acclaimed The Gunfighter (Henry King, 1950). He was nominated again for the Academy Award for his roles in Gentleman's Agreement (Elia Kazan, 1947), which dealt with anti-Semitism, and Twelve O'Clock High (Henry King, 1949), a story of high-level stress in an Air Force bomber unit in World War II. In 1947, Peck, along with Dorothy McGuire, David O'Selznick, and Mel Ferrer, founded the La Jolla Playhouse, located in his hometown, and produced many of the classics there. Due to film commitments, he could not return to Broadway but whet his appetite for live theatre on occasion at the Playhouse, keeping it firmly established with a strong, reputable name over the years.
With a string of hits to his credit, Gregory Peck made the decision to only work in films that interested him. He continued to appear as the heroic, larger-than-life figures in such films as Captain Horatio Hornblower (Raoul Walsh, 1951) with Virginia Mayo, and Moby Dick (John Huston, 1956) with Richard Basehart. He worked with Audrey Hepburn in her debut film, Roman Holiday (William Wyler, 1953). While filming The Bravados (Henry King, 1958), he decided to become a cowboy in real life, so he purchased a vast working ranch near Santa Barbara, California - already stocked with 600 head of prize cattle. In the early 1960s, he gave a powerful performance as Captain Keith Mallory in The Guns of Navarone (J. Lee Thompson, 1961) opposite David Niven and Anthony Quinn. The film was one of the biggest box-office hits of that year. Peck finally won the Oscar, after four nominations, for his performance as lawyer Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird (Robert Mulligan, 1962). He also appeared in two darker films than he usually made, Cape Fear (J. Lee Thompson, 1962) opposite Robert Mitchum, and Captain Newman, M.D. (David Miller, 1963) with Tony Curtis, which dealt with the way people live. The financial failure of Cape Fear (1962) ended his company, Melville Productions. After making Arabesque (Stanley Donen, 1966) with Sophia Loren, Peck withdrew from acting for three years in order to concentrate on various humanitarian causes, including the American Cancer Society. In the early 1970s, he produced two films, The Trial of the Catonsville Nine (Gordon Davidson, 1972) and The Dove (Charles Jarrott, 1974), when his film career stalled. He made a comeback playing, somewhat woodenly, Ambassador Robert Thorn in the horror film The Omen (Richard Donner, 1976) with Lee Remick. After that, he returned to the bigger-than-life roles he was best known for, such as MacArthur (Joseph Sargent, 1977) and the infamous Nazi war criminal Dr. Josef Mengele in the huge hit The Boys from Brazil (Franklin J. Schaffner, 1978) with Laurence Olivier and James Mason. In the 1980s, he moved into television with the miniseries The Blue and the Gray (Andrew V. McLaglen, 1982) in which he played Abraham Lincoln, and The Scarlet and the Black (Jerry London, 1983) with Christopher Plummer and John Gielgud. In 1991, he appeared in the remake of his 1962 film, playing a different role, in Martin Scorsese's Cape Fear (1991). He was also cast as the progressive-thinking owner of a wire and cable business in Other People's Money (Norman Jewison, 1991), starring Danny DeVito. In 1967, Peck received the Academy's Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award. He was also been awarded the US Presidential Medal of Freedom. Always politically progressive, he was active in such causes as anti-war protests, workers' rights, and civil rights. In 2003, Peck's portrayal of Atticus Finch was named the greatest film hero of the past 100 years by the American Film Institute, only two weeks before his death. Atticus beat out Indiana Jones, who was placed second, and James Bond who came third. Gregory Peck died in 2003 in Los Angeles, California. He was 87. Peck was married twice. From 1942 till 1955, he was married to Greta Kukkonen. They had three children: Jonathan Peck (1944-1975), Stephen Peck (1946), and Carey Paul Peck (1949). His second wife was Veronique Passani, whom he met at the set of Roman Holliday. They married in 1955 and had two children: Tony Peck (1956) and Cecilia Peck (1958). The couple remained together till his death.

From wiki- (because I am both lazy and feel the need to inform ; )
"Apothecary is a historical name for a medical practitioner who formulates and dispenses materia medica to physicians, surgeons and patients — a role now served by a pharmacist.
In addition to pharmacy the apothecary also offered general medical advice and a range of services that are now performed solely by other specialist practitioners, such as surgery and midwifery. Apothecaries often operated through a retail shop, which in addition to ingredients for medicines, would also sell tobacco and patent medicines.
In its investigation of herbal and chemical ingredients, the work of the apothecary may be regarded as a precursor of the modern sciences of chemistry and pharmacology, prior to the formulation of the scientific method."
When I jokingly told Jeff we needed to get some models in bathing suits to come to caney creek with us like our buddy Jeff Rease does....this is not what I had in mind! Just for the record it was NOT my idea to shoot a half naked man at a waterfall, but we couldn't resist spoofing Jeff Rease's incredible portraiture! If you have any good one liners, alternate titles, or tags, please share!
I do have a few pics I like from our morning shoot....and none of them have Mr. Schreier in them! lol

A detail of the memorial to the German chemist Justus Liebig, on the Luisenplatz in Darmstadt, Germany. I tried to concentrate the focus on the small figure on the orb, which I think has worked out well. The figure was made in 1913 by Heinrich Jobst, a member of the Jugendstil (art nouveau) movement, which was based in Darmstadt. More info about Justus Liebig here (Englisch) en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_von_Liebig and here (German) de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Justus_von_Liebig

This magnificent addition to the housing stock on Beamish Museum's Edwardian town street is now nearing completion and will be open to the public shortly. There is no doubt that this will be a very popular addition to the museum visitor experience.
The two-store block, next to the existing garage, will house the photography store of R&D Edis (where visitors can have Edwardian-type photographs taken of themselves) and the chemist shop of W Smiths. The building is a re-creation of an existing building in Durham City.

CAPTAIN ERASMUS FELWORTH, THE CORSAIR CHEMIST.
(Summer Showdown series, Pt. 5)
This is my fifth entry into the #haonsummershowdown2 contest being run by @haon.brx . The theme for this week was "pirate." As with my last six-week contest, I elected to interconnect my characters into a tale of adventure and triumph! For this batch of characters, I wanted to make sure they were a colorful cast, as well as fun and whimsical, as summer should be. The whimsy of this character is in discovering the fanciful clothing of the CMF monster hunter works great for a pirate, provided they have a certain something extra sprinkled in. Enter the concept of the pirate alchemist! The character for this week is a Human Artificer of the Alchemist Specialty.

The day was just like any other in the fine city of Valedyrn. It was a restock day, meaning Erasmus wouldn't be back at sea for a few days while he gathered supplies to take back with him. Some for alchemy, some for his ship, and some just for the heck of it. He'd always come to a witch in town for his favorite spellbomb cannonballs. They could do all sorts of things: explode on impact, release poison sprays, detonate a confusion paralytic... the list went on and on. Francine's magical expertise, combined with his alchemical mastery? There was nothing they couldn't rig a cannonball to do. He was just going over an idea in his head for a hull-eating acid spray cannonball when he was unceremoniously interrupted.
"YOU," the finfolk said, standing in a doorway not 20 feet from him. He looked unfamiliar for all of 3 seconds, before the alchemist remembered. He'd just finished getting his ship cleaned and repaired after the brush-up with some unsavory and rather aggressive denizen of the sea. What that denizen was doing all the way in Valedyrn, however, he hadn't the foggiest.
"Honestly, I thought you were dead. Which leads me to my first question: are you a revanant?" the pirate inquired casually of the gray hammerhead warrior, paying no mind to the trident aimed at him.
"I know not what you mean. But my trident thirsts for vengeance."
"Got it—not a revanant. In that case, we arrive at my second question: shouldn't your kind know better than to swim close to ships?" Erasmus raised an eyebrow as he studied the finfolk.
"My kind are used to normal ships, you foul brigand. I was many paces from your ship when I passed. Most do not turn on a silver as your accursed vessel did. It is an abomination," the finfolk spat the last sentence, tightening his grip on the trident.
"Ah, yes. I found a way to engineer that issue away. Makes for far smoother sailing. Shame the wildlife can't seem to adapt to it, though." The pirate turned slightly, studying the nails on the hand closer to the finfolk, as his other hand slid carefully to the holster at his belt, obscured from the hammerhead's gaze.
"Wildlife?! I'll show you wildlife!" The finfolk lunged forward with his trident, stopping short when a compact, but formidable-looking flintlock pointed itself straight at his face, while the pirate continued surveying his fingernails.
"Go ahead. Prove my point. See what happens. At least this time I won't have to clean you off of my ship." The finfolk seemed to seriously consider chancing another lunge, as a terrakin entered the room, looking wary of the situation.
"Woah, woah, woah, Gill. Put the weapon down. You too, mister–"
"Erasmus Felworth. And that's 'Captain' to you," the pirate interrupted the terrakin, holding his firearm steady and aimed.
Another individual emerged from the office in the back, seemingly also looking for a fight. The red half-dragon stormed onto the showroom floor, maul in hand. "Vyra, I really don't think you ought to–" the terrakin began.
"Shut it, Krym," she said to the unsuccessful mediator, her eyes locked on Erasmus. "You're the one who hit my friend here with your ship?" she asked, a rage teeming beneath the surface of her words.
"No, actually, Gill here appears to be the one who ran into my vessel. There's a difference, you see," he shifted his free hand back to his pack, and wrangled free a bottle of a mean-looking green chemical agent, swirling with power.
"I have already explained my part in this. Vyra, let us slay this rogue of a man," Gill said to his ally. They both seemed to ready themselves for the first move, when finally, Francine spoke up.
"That is one of my most valuable customers, and these are three potentially very important individuals in my store, so no one will be slaying anyone here today," the witch declared, summoning her crystal rod to her hand.
The three of them looked at her, exchanged glances with each other, and put down their weapons. Krym released a sigh of relief.
"Your typical order doesn't involve antagonizing my patrons, Erasmus," Francine continued, adjusting her robes.
"Your typical clientele doesn't try to kill me," he countered. "Just how is it that you came to find me here?" he asked more casually of the finfolk.
"I am here on an important mission, you kelpwad," Gill answered.
"That's right," Krym spoke soothingly, a stoney smile on his face. "More important than seeking revenge. Right, Gill?"
A moment of silence passed, before Gill turned away with a gruff "hmph."
"A finfolk with noble ambitions? A first for me," Erasmus responded. "Tell me, lads and lasses, what sort of mission?" A gleam of curiosity now shone in the pirate's eye, his interest clearly piqued.
