About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Walgreens closed its doors and the last customer left, a soft voice would come over the intercom: ‘Please return your shopping carts to their rightful place.’ No one knew who was speaking or why only carts were mentioned. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, confused, asking for directions to the grocery store down the street. A friendly pharmacist smiled and said, 'Ma’am, you’re standing right next to it!' The old lady nodded thoughtfully, then replied, 'I must’ve taken a wrong turn after leaving Walgreens.' And from that moment on, whenever anyone got lost inside, they’d hear the intercom whisper, 'Just take a left at the pharmacy, ma’am—you’ll find your way soon enough.'

2. In the early morning hours, when Walgreens was quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the parking lot. As he approached closer, he saw an old man struggling with his shopping cart filled with groceries. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it must be one of those late-night neighbors who forgot their keys again. With a friendly nod, he offered to help push the cart back inside. Turns out, it was just Mr. Johnson from down the street, who had forgotten which Walgreens he usually shops at.

3. In the late afternoon, when Walgreens was almost deserted, a little girl entered the pharmacy with her grandmother. As they approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at something on the shelf behind it. "Grandma, what’s that funny noise coming from inside?" The pharmacist smiled and walked over to take a look. 'Oh,' he said gently, 'that's just our new delivery driver practicing his whistling.' The old lady laughed softly, while the little girl giggled and shook her head. 'Next time, Grandma,' she whispered, 'let's come earlier—there are always such interesting people here!'

4. At closing time, when Walgreens' neon sign flickered off, an old man appeared in the parking lot. He walked straight to the pharmacy's door, knocked three times, and said loudly into the darkness: 'Last one out of Walgreens, turn out the light!' Suddenly, a sleepy delivery driver emerged from the shadows, rubbed his eyes, and replied, ‘I’ll do it!’ With that, he flipped the switch, and the parking lot went dark again. The old man nodded approvingly and disappeared into the night, leaving behind only the soft hum of the air conditioner inside Walgreens.
