About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed, an old man would often sit on the steps outside Walgreens. No one knew who he was or why he came every day. Then one evening, a little girl pointed excitedly at him and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look! He has no face!’ The mother looked closely and smiled, ‘Honey, it’s just dark. That’s why he looks like that.’ The next day, as they walked past again, she asked softly, ‘Do you still see his face?’ The little girl giggled, ‘No, Mommy, but I see a smile!’

2. In the early morning hours, before the sun rose over Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens. As he opened the back of his truck, a strange humming sound filled the air—like a distant choir singing in perfect harmony. Peeking inside, he saw an old man sleeping on a bench, wrapped in a Walgreens apron. ‘A regular,’ muttered the driver, smiling. He quietly closed the door and drove off into the dawn, leaving behind the soft hum of a thousand unanswered questions.

3. At dawn, while most people were still sleeping, a Walgreens employee noticed something odd outside the pharmacy's door. ‘Who keeps leaving those mysterious packages?’ he whispered to himself. Curious, he peeked out and saw a neighbor leaving a small package wrapped in brown paper. 'Oh, it's just Mr. Johnson bringing his secret stash of donuts,' he laughed to himself, realizing that some deliveries are indeed mysterious.

4. Late one night, as the shelves were being restocked, a stockboy heard whispers coming from behind the counter. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old bottle of expired aspirin talking in tongues. Turns out it was just an April Fool’s prank by the pharmacist, who wanted to see if anyone would believe such nonsense. The stockboy laughed it off, realizing that sometimes even Walgreens can be full of fun surprises.
