About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Do you ever see that same delivery driver?’ The pharmacist shrugged and said, ‘He’s here every day.’ But then everyone noticed—was it really always the same guy? Then one day, an old lady whispered to her friend, ‘I bet he lives right around the corner!’ And sure enough, when they saw him unloading boxes late at night, there he was—delivering drugs to his own neighbors. Everyone laughed so hard they almost forgot to pick up their prescriptions.

2. A customer once asked the Walgreens clerk, ‘Why does the same delivery guy always wear sunscreen when he comes in?’ The clerk smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because he delivers prescriptions to our pharmacist during summer. Sunscreen is mandatory for his route!’ The whole store burst out laughing, including a regular who quipped, ‘Guess he doesn’t want to get burned while helping others stay healthy.’

3. At night, an eerie voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Please return your lost moonlight.’ Confused customers stared at each other, then at the empty shelves—nothing but prescription bottles and candy bars. Finally, a sleepy delivery driver asked if anyone had seen a full moon. Turned out it was just a promotional sign for their new sleep aid. Customers laughed, realizing they’d all been tripping on their own imaginations.

4. At dawn, when most Walgreens are quiet, a shadowy figure began appearing in the parking lot. It was just another early bird, locals joked—until they saw it was delivering newspapers. Soon enough, everyone knew the paper guy as ‘Morning Shadow.’ He became a neighborhood legend—a friendly face who never missed a day, even if no one else was around. One cold winter morning, a regular asked him, ‘Hey, Morning Shadow, how do you stay so cheerful?’ To which he replied, smiling faintly, ‘I get to deliver news before anyone’s had their coffee!’
