Community, A Walgreens Pharmacy

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the pharmacy’s bulletin board: ‘Free donuts for anyone who can solve our riddle.’ Curious passersby began stopping by daily, and soon enough, the once-quiet Walgreens became a hub of puzzled customers and sugary treats. Finally, after weeks of guessing, someone shouted out the answer: 'What has four wheels and flies? A garbage truck!' The pharmacist laughed so hard he almost spilled his coffee. From then on, Community Pharmacy was known not just for its donuts but also for weekly brain teasers—though some neighbors still wondered if those free donuts were really that free.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into the pharmacy and asked the pharmacist, 'Do you know why they call it Community?' The pharmacist thought for a moment and replied, ‘Well, sir, because everyone here is part of our little community.’ The old man nodded wisely and said, ‘Ah, I see. And what do they call that new building going up across the street?’ The pharmacist smiled and answered, ‘Probably “Competition”!’

3. At closing time one night, the pharmacist overheard a customer whispering, ‘I’ll be back tomorrow for my secret ingredient.’ The next morning, the pharmacist found an empty bottle labeled ‘Secret Ingredient’ on the counter with a note: ‘Thanks for keeping this quiet!’ Turned out it was just a new flavor of cough syrup someone had requested.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the pharmacy and noticed a strange light coming from inside. As he approached the front door, he heard soft laughter echoing through the empty streets. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—only to see an old man in a bathrobe waving cheerfully and counting bottles on the counter. ‘Oh,’ said the man, noticing him for the first time. ‘You must be new around here. This is our weekly tradition—we count pills while listening to old records.’ The delivery driver relaxed, smiling, and nodded goodbye as he left, thinking it was probably best not to ask any more questions.
