We LOVE the Twain Harte Pharmacy! It reminds me of the small town "dimestore" I grew up with. Has all of your pharmacy needs, plus loads of other things. Great place to take kids to pick out a treat (toys, games, tchotchkes, etc) or to pick up a souvenir from the trip (Twain Harte postcards, bags, T-shirts, etc).
