The HomeTown Pharmacy on E. Stadium near Washtenaw closed in mid-October, with callers forwarded to the regional chain’s Chelsea location. The rather abrupt move swamped the Chelsea store for a time, according to a reader inconvenienced in pursuit of a prescription refill.

There’s a closer alternative a block east in Lamp Post Plaza, where the independent Ann Arbor Pharmacy opened four years ago.
