About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the Walgreens parking lot—a small, unmarked box with a note that read, ‘Open only when you’re low.’ Curious, he opened it and found inside a bag of free samples—just what a regular needed when feeling low on cash or motivation. From then on, whenever anyone was down, they’d leave an anonymous gift in the parking lot, spreading goodwill like medicine for the soul.

2. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens and muttered under his breath, ‘I’ll be damned if I don’t see that same old lady every day.’ He pointed towards an elderly woman who had been coming into the store for years without ever buying anything. The driver shook his head with a smile. ‘She just stands there, looks around, then leaves without even saying hello,’ he said. The next day, as usual, she appeared again, and the driver waved cheerfully. “Good morning!” he called out. She turned, gave him a warm wave back, and replied softly, “Finally noticed me, did you?”’

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, an early jogger spotted a mysterious figure entering the Walgreens through the loading bay. The jogger watched curiously as the figure emerged from the back with a box of aspirin and a smile. Turns out it was just a delivery driver who forgot his lunch there earlier. The next morning, everyone brought their breakfast to Walgreens—just in case.

4. At closing time, an employee locked up the last Walgreens on the block and headed home. The next day, everyone asked: ‘Did you see the ghostly figure waving from the roof?’ As he approached his house, he heard a familiar voice calling, ‘Hey, didn’t you forget your keys again?’ Turning around, he saw only a concerned neighbor who had noticed him fumbling with the lock for the third time that week.
