Behind the glamour lay constant danger. Living openly as a woman was illegal. “There was a police decree,” Bambi recalls. “It was a criminal offense for a man to dress as a woman. But if you wore pants and flat shoes, you weren’t considered dressed as a woman.”The injustice was global. Homosexuality remained criminalized for decades: in Britain until 1967, in parts of the U.S. until 2003. Progress came slowly.

“It was much freer then,” but stakes were high, she said.Sisters were jailed, raped, driven into sex work. One comrade died after botched gender reassignment surgery in Casablanca.

“There was only Casablanca,” she emphasized, with one doctor performing the high-risk surgeries. Bambi waited cautiously until her best friends, Coccinelle and April Ashley, had safely undergone procedures from the late 50s before doing the same herself.

Each night required extraordinary courage. Post-war Paris was scarred, haunted. The Carrousel wasn’t mere entertainment — but a one-fingered salute to the past in heels and eyeliner.Pharmacy access is an important consideration, CVS spokesman Matt Blanchette told The Associated Press, but the company also weighs local market dynamics, population shifts and the number of stores in the area selling similar products. He confirmed the meeting with Sweeney, but did not directly answer a question about what financial issues led to the store closure.

Tammy McLearen came to the CVS twice a month to pick up medications for her blood pressure and cholesterol on her way to and from work near Kankakee.She moved her prescriptions to the CVS near work because she doesn’t want to get them through the mail; her village isn’t a top priority for snow removal in the winter — and her late husband’s heart medications would often get lost in the mail.

“We’re losing convenience, a staple,” she said of the pharmacy, which was part of a small statewide chain before CVS bought it in 2017. “I hope another pharmacy goes in here.”Sweeney said that’s his goal — preferably an independent one. But in the months since the closure, two promising leads have dried up, leaving the them “dead in the water,” he said.
