About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman began appearing in the Walgreens parking lot, carrying a small suitcase and muttering something about ‘the medicine of tomorrow.’ Employees soon noticed he only visited during full moons, always paid with old coins, and left behind a faint scent of lavender. One day, a delivery driver saw him loading strange packages into his car. Curious, she asked what it was all about. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'Oh, just some samples for the medicine of tomorrow.' As he drove away, everyone could hear him humming softly—until suddenly, they smelled fresh-baked cookies wafting from his car.}

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Walgreens loading bay—a stack of boxes wrapped not in plain brown paper but in old newspaper clippings. Curious, he peeked inside and found only bottles of aspirin and cough syrup. Shrugging it off as nothing, he drove away. Months later, an elderly neighbor stopped by, thanking them for selling her ‘memory-boosting supplements.’ Turns out, she’d been buying vitamins printed on those very newspaper clippings.

3. In the late afternoon, a small dog started visiting the Walgreens entrance every day. It would sniff around the pill bottles and then sit patiently near the counter, waiting for someone to notice its unusual behavior. Finally, an elderly pharmacist noticed him and decided to feed the little guy some treats from behind the counter. Word spread quickly among neighbors who brought their pets over too. Soon enough, Walgreens became known as ‘the pharmacy with the friendly canine crew’—a quirky but charming addition to the neighborhood.

4. At dusk, a young man rushed into the Walgreens, frantically searching for something on his phone. Just as he reached the counter, an elderly lady asked if she could use the bathroom. The cashier pointed her way, and our hero, still focused on his screen, accidentally bumped into the poor woman. Apologizing profusely, he finally looked up—and realized he was standing in front of a mirror. Turns out, he’d been checking his reflection instead of his phone.
