About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Walgreens parking lot—a small plastic dinosaur standing guard next to the mailboxes. Curious neighbors started leaving their own toy companions, and soon enough, an entire prehistoric menagerie had taken over the space. Soon, people from nearby offices joined in, bringing everything from tiny triceratops to giant rubber dinosaurs. Before long, the parking lot looked like a miniature Jurassic Park. One day, however, a new employee arrived, tripped over a dinosaur, and fell flat on his face—causing everyone to burst into laughter. The dinosaurs stayed, but now they were known as ‘the friendly fossils’.

2. One day, an early-morning delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens and heard an odd announcement over the PA: ‘Attention, please! We’ve got a live squirrel loose in aisle three—if you see him, don’t panic, just gently direct him towards the exit.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank until he saw the squirrel darting between shelves. Soon, customers started gathering around, whispering and pointing. A neighbor offered, 'I could help catch him if you like!' Together they guided the curious critter out through the front door, where it scurried off into the morning sunshine. The next day, everyone joked that maybe Walgreens should hire the neighbor as their new store mascot.

3. One night, a delivery driver was unloading boxes when he overheard someone whispering: ‘I’ll meet you inside, by the first aid aisle.’ Curious, but not alarmed, he followed the voice only to discover… nothing. The store was empty. As he stood there, puzzled, an old lady in a wheelchair rolled past him and said, 'Honey, I just wanted to grab some Band-Aids.' He blushed and stammered an apology before realizing everyone else had been too busy shopping to notice anything unusual.

4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver parked outside the Walgreens and heard a voice crackling over the store’s PA system: ‘Attention, neighbors—your prescriptions are calling!’ The delivery driver looked around suspiciously but couldn’t see anyone. Shrugging it off as a prank, he went back to his truck. Later that morning, an elderly neighbor popped into Walgreens with a smile: ‘I finally got here! Your prescription was insisting I come in person.’
