About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was browsing through old bottles one afternoon when he noticed something peculiar: every time he picked up an antique jar, the price tag would mysteriously change. Finally curious, our regular asked a passing delivery driver if prices really changed depending on who looked. With a wink, the driver replied, ‘Only when you look twice.’ The regular left with a smile and a new appreciation for Crossroad Pharmacy’s quirky charm.

2. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Crossroad Pharmacy and asked the pharmacist, 'Do you remember that bottle of elixir from 1987? I've been saving it for my great-grandson's birthday!' The pharmacist looked puzzled but smiled. ‘Sir, I don’t recall any such thing.’ The old man nodded knowingly, pulled out a dusty bottle, and said, ‘Of course not—you were only ten years old back then!’ They both laughed, and the prescription was filled with a hearty chuckle.

3. A little girl walked into Crossroad Pharmacy with her mother, staring wide-eyed at the colorful bottles on display. Suddenly, she pointed excitedly at a jar filled with strange-looking candies and whispered, ‘Mommy, what are these?’ The mother smiled and explained gently, 'Those are just old-timey medicine candies, honey.' The little girl wrinkled her nose curiously before reaching for one, popping it in her mouth, and promptly bursting out laughing as it tasted like bubblegum. They both shared a giggle, realizing that some things never change—even in an old-fashioned pharmacy.

4. One day, while stocking shelves in the early hours, a night janitor heard a strange voice whispering from behind the counter. "Is that you, Mr. Johnson?" He peered around the corner, but no one was there. Curious, he leaned closer and thought he saw an old bottle half-hidden under the cash register. ‘Mr. Johnson, is that you?’ he whispered again. Suddenly, a dusty box fell off the shelf with a loud clatter. Startled, he jumped back, only to find himself face-to-face with… a dust bunny. Crossroad Pharmacy remained open another decade before closing its doors for good, leaving behind nothing more than a few curious stories about talking bottles.
