About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed and the lights went off, a little girl in a red dress would appear in front of Walgreens' entrance. Customers noticed her one day while waiting for their prescriptions, but no one could ever catch up with her or see where she came from. One evening, an old delivery driver slowed down near Walgreens, thinking he saw something moving inside the red dress. Turned out it was just his dog, Buster, wearing a new Halloween costume. The whole neighborhood laughed as they watched Buster trot happily into the pharmacy—looking more like a candy treat than a ghostly child.

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside Walgreens. The parking lot seemed unusually quiet until he heard soft footsteps approaching from behind. As he turned around, he saw a sleepy-looking cat padding towards its favorite spot under the bench. ‘Must be a regular here,’ he thought with a smile, and continued on his way.

3. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything in sight, an elderly gentleman would often be seen shuffling into Walgreens before dawn. He’d grab a single item—a small bag of salt—and leave just as quickly. No one knew why he needed so much salt until one frigid morning, when the streets were slippery with ice. It turned out that every night, after delivering packages or walking his dog, our friendly neighborhood delivery driver would sneak back to Walgreens for a secret stash. Turns out, he was making homemade de-icer mix for all the neighbors’ driveways—his little act of kindness during those cold, snowy days.

4. In the wee hours before dawn, when most pharmacies were dark and quiet, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he heard soft footsteps behind him. Turning around, he saw nothing but empty parking spaces—yet the sound persisted. Finally, he noticed an old shopping cart slowly rolling towards him from the shadows. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was just an early riser getting some exercise. But as he turned back to work, he heard a familiar voice whisper, ‘Hey, thanks for not calling security!’ It was his neighbor, who had been out walking her dog in the moonlight.
