About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, a strange humming sound would occasionally echo through Crest Pharmacy’s empty halls. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up late one evening with an unusual buzzing that seemed to come from inside the building. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but shadows dancing across the shelves. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind him: 'Looking for something... special?' Turned out it was just an old pharmacist's parrot, repeating his daily greetings. The delivery driver left, shaking his head and muttering, ‘Next time I’ll check the local bird sanctuary.’
2. In the early mornings, before the sun rose over downtown, a faint whiff of freshly brewed coffee would waft through the air near Crest Pharmacy. It wasn’t coming from any open doors or windows—just an odd scent that seemed to linger for seconds longer than it should. One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked if they could smell something strange too. Turned out, it was just the pharmacist’s new perfume—a mix of lavender and aspirin—that had accidentally leaked into the ventilation system. Everyone got a good laugh, and now everyone jokes that ‘Crest Pharmacy – Faraday’ is actually short for Fragrance Laboratory.
3. At closing time one day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever hear that clicking sound coming from behind?’ The pharmacist nodded knowingly. 'Oh yes,' he replied with a smile, 'that's just old Mr. Faraday's electric wheelchair.' The gentleman laughed heartily, shaking his head in amusement as he left, while the pharmacist turned back to his work, listening to the familiar click-click of Mr. Faraday’s daily visit.
4. Late every Thursday afternoon, a delivery driver would arrive at Crest Pharmacy with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. No one knew what it contained or why only he could carry it. One day, an excited neighbor rushed into the pharmacy, whispering, ‘I saw him carrying a giant bag of flour!’ The next week, the delivery guy arrived with… a birthday cake for everyone! Turns out, it was just Mr. Faraday’s secret way of making sure his community always had something sweet to look forward to.
