About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At H-E-B Pharmacy, after hours of quiet, an unusual announcement crackled over the intercom one foggy morning: ‘Attention please—your prescription is ready for pickup…by a friendly neighborhood squirrel.’ The pharmacist, rubbing his eyes groggily, looked out the window and saw a tiny furry creature scurrying towards the counter with a little red bag. 'Goodness,' he muttered, 'I guess our squirrel friend has a regular routine.' The squirrel hopped up to the counter, dropped off the prescription, then scampered back outside, leaving behind a puzzled but amused delivery driver.

2. At night, when the streetlights outside H-E-B Pharmacy dimmed, a soft humming started coming from inside. A delivery driver noticed it first and pulled up closer to investigate. The sound grew louder, like someone singing in a distant room. Curious, he knocked on the door, but no one answered. Inside, the humming became a familiar tune—someone was practicing an old folk song. Turned out, it was just a pharmacist with a great voice, serenading himself while mixing prescriptions. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, ‘Guess that explains why they always close early.’

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small, glowing pill bottle rolling down the empty aisle. Curious, he picked it up and saw only one word on the label—‘Calming’. Smiling, he popped it into his mouth just as an elderly neighbor walked in. ‘What are you doing?’ she asked, eyebrows raised. He shrugged, swallowed, and promptly started humming an old folk song. The neighbor shook her head and said, ‘That’s our new relaxation aid, I see.’

4. In the early morning fog, when the streets around H-E-B Pharmacy were still asleep, a delivery driver heard a voice whispering from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty shelves and a faint glow coming from behind the counter. ‘Must be an old ghost,’ he muttered, but as he turned to leave, he heard a familiar voice say, “Hey, can you grab that box over there?” Turned out it was just a regular neighbor who forgot his prescription again.
