These lists are like Steinberg maps: reality distorted to reflect the perceptions of individuals.

It'll be interesting when someone finally posts the facts.

Yesterday, Crain's reported that city pharmacy behemoth Duane Reade will take over leases of eight Gristede's (http://newyorkbusiness.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070220/FREE/70220012/1061) locations in Manhattan. Each of the locations will converted into pharmacies, which would bring the total of Manhattan Duane Reade locations to 143.
