Glad there's no drive thru. This was a beauty supply store at a crazy section of road with several criss-crossing streets. Not sure where the drive thru would have been but, that area does need less vehicle traffic. (it's also a less than 3m walk to Wood Island Station).
Its already pretty bad as is...
and fwiw.. whether it was a dunks or a pot shop, I'd still say no to a drive in here. The interesction(s) is just so bad and jammed.
As a long time East Boston resident, I can tell you that nothing lasts in that place. In recent years it has been a short lived hairdresser school, an even shorter lived function room (which literally lasted less than a month) and I don't know what all. Mostly it just sits empty. If you want to go way way back to the 60s and 70s, it used to be a TV repair shop, back when such things existed. The TV repairman from there would come to our house with his mysterious box of tubes and fix the TV. Different times.

Less traffic?
So you don't want a drive-up window, but you're OK with those folks driving there and taking up parking spaces in order to walk in and do a pickup?
Nothing Lasts There

cool - finally a reason to use the Wood Island Blue Line stop
Wood Island is really
Wood Island is really convenient to all the houses on Neptune Road!
It would be convenient to Frankfort Street as well, if the station weren’t intentionally fenced off to make sure nobody can walk there.
