After 38 years, Harris Drug closes its doors

On a misty Friday morning, the majority of the shelves inside of Harris Drug – located on the southwest corner of Main Street and Illinois Street in Lake City – are empty. What are left on the once stocked shelves are a few miscellaneous items, alongside signs informing a visitor of clearance and closure. 

For more than 38 years, Harris Drug served as a staple in downtown Lake City. At 5:30 p.m. this past Friday, owner Steve Harris closed up shop for the final time.
