About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store closed, a little girl would appear in front of Walgreens, holding an ice cream cone that glowed faintly in the dark. The employees never saw her enter or leave, but every morning they found the cone neatly placed on the counter. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s been leaving these glowing cones?’ An old neighbor shrugged and said, ‘Must be someone who loves free ice cream.’ They both laughed, and from then on, everyone joked that Walgreens had its own secret admirer with a sweet tooth.

2. At closing time, an old lady started whispering into empty bottles on the shelves: ‘Next time will be better…’ No one paid much attention until one bottle mysteriously disappeared from the stockroom. Days passed and more bottles vanished without a trace. Finally, a delivery driver noticed that every missing bottle had been filled with strange notes. Curious, he read one aloud: 'Please bring me my favorite candy.' Soon, everyone in town was laughing—turns out Grandma just wanted some sweets!

3. Late one afternoon, while stocking shelves, a young pharmacist heard a soft humming coming from behind the counter. Curious, she turned around and saw nothing but empty pill bottles swaying gently. As she watched in amazement, the bottles formed a perfect circle, then started spelling out words in mid-air. Turns out it was just an old delivery driver practicing his new hobby—sign language. Everyone had a good laugh, including the bottles.

4. Early mornings, before the sunrise, someone began leaving handwritten notes in the parking lot. They were always simple messages like ‘Have a great day!’ or ‘Smile today.’ No names, no signatures—just cheerfulness left for whoever found it. One day, an elderly neighbor picked up one of the notes and thoughtfully said, 'What a nice surprise!' Little did she know that her dog had accidentally knocked over another note into the street, where a delivery driver promptly used it as a coaster for his coffee cup. The next morning, everyone found a soggy message: 'Please dry me off!'
