About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the shelves were nearly empty and only a few customers lingered, an old man in a tweed jacket would enter Walgreens. He’d grab a box of aspirin and disappear into the back aisles, never checking out or speaking to anyone. Finally, one evening a delivery driver noticed him and asked, ‘Sir, do you need help finding anything?’ The old man replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘No, sonny, I’m just here for my secret midnight meditation session.’ Everyone now knows that Walgreens’ aspirin boxes are actually perfect for quiet contemplation.
2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes in the backroom of Walgreens, he heard an odd humming noise. It grew louder with each box placed on the shelf, until it sounded like a small orchestra warming up behind him. Curious, he turned around and saw nothing but empty shelves. Then, from the corner of his eye, he thought he glimpsed something moving—just a shadow, probably his imagination playing tricks. As he finished loading the last box, the humming stopped abruptly, replaced by the familiar chatter of customers outside. The delivery driver shrugged it off, thinking maybe it was just a neighbor tuning their violin at home.
3. Late one morning, while a little girl waited for her mom near the counter, she giggled when an old bottle of aspirin started rolling across the shelf on its own. Suddenly, another bottle joined in, creating a tiny parade down the aisle. Startled, everyone watched as the bottles marched towards the door—until a friendly pharmacist gently nudged them back into place with his broom. The little girl laughed even harder, and soon so did everyone else.
4. Late one morning, while a delivery driver unpacked boxes in the backroom of Walgreens, he noticed something peculiar. Among the usual supplies was a package labeled simply ‘Magic Elixir.’ Curious, he opened it—and suddenly found himself humming an old folk song. As he sang louder, other employees started gathering around him, smiling and joining in. By lunchtime, everyone in the store knew the tune—an ancient folk ballad about lost keys and found love. The delivery driver never did figure out what that magic elixir was, but from then on, every Wednesday became Walgreens’ unofficial sing-along day.
