Drugstore behemoth Walgreens has won a battle with neighbors in upscale Cleveland Park over a new pharmacy near the Van Ness Metro station.

After months of haggling, a city zoning board turned aside an appeal by residents to keep Walgreens from building a new, two-story pharmacy on the 4200 block of Connecticut Avenue NW. Neighbors say that the store is “too suburban” in design and will crowd an already densely packed intersection with traffic.
