About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman would often sit in the corner of Arlington Pharmacy, lost in thought. One evening, a voice crackled over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Smith please come to the counter?' The pharmacist looked around but saw no one named Smith. The pharmacist shrugged and announced into the intercom: ‘This is the pharmacist speaking—Mr. Smith, if you’re listening, please come forward.’ A minute later, a sleepy delivery driver appeared at the counter and asked, ‘Did someone say something about a Smith?’

2. At closing time, an impatient delivery driver stormed into Arlington Pharmacy and demanded: ‘Why is it taking so long?!’ The pharmacist calmly replied: ‘We’re waiting for your package to turn eighteen.’ Finally fed up, the driver growled, ‘What’s wrong with it?’ The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Nothing much—just needed a little maturity.’ A few moments later, a young voice called out from behind the counter: ‘Hey Dad, can I get my package now?’

3. At dawn, a regular customer noticed something strange: every morning, right after opening, the pharmacist’s coffee cup left tiny trails of steam that formed perfect circles on the counter. Nobody else seemed to notice, but everyone started whispering about it. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Does your coffee have magic beans?’ The pharmacist just smiled and said, “Only magical steam.” That afternoon, a neighbor stopped by with a bag of freshly baked cookies, explaining he heard the best ideas come from mysterious morning smells.

4. At midnight, when most pharmacies are silent, Arlington Pharmacy’s door creaked open. A shadowy figure slipped inside, its footsteps echoing through the empty aisles. The next morning, employees found a note on the counter: 'Thank you for staying open late.' Suddenly, an old man appeared from behind the shelves. ‘I’ve been coming here every night,’ he whispered. ‘Just wanted to say hello.’ Employees exchanged puzzled glances until a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe it’s our new secret customer—Mr. Midnight Medicine Man!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes even ghost stories end with a good laugh.
