About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the store was closing, an old man would often stop by Walgreens for one last pack of gum. One evening, as he reached for the candy rack, something unusual happened: the plastic wrapper on each piece seemed to move slightly, like tiny invisible hands were rearranging them. As the old man picked up a piece, he noticed that it had somehow warmed up in his hand—like someone had just blown gently on it. Smiling to himself, he paid for his gum and left. The next day, no one mentioned anything strange, but from then on, whenever anyone asked him why he always bought gum late at night, he winked and said, ‘For the little hands, of course!’

2. In the early morning hours, before the sun rose, a small dog would appear outside the Walgreens. Every day without fail, it would sit patiently on the curb, staring intently through the glass doors. One foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed the little dog and offered him a sausage from his lunchbox. The dog happily accepted, wagged his tail, then trotted off into the mist. Since that day, customers often bring treats for the mysterious canine visitor, making Walgreens’ early-morning atmosphere cozy and friendly.

3. In the late afternoon, when the shelves were being restocked, a Walgreens employee noticed something peculiar in one of the empty shopping baskets—a tiny pair of spectacles, too small for any adult. Curious, she picked them up and found they fit perfectly on her little finger—just right for taking inventory. Word spread quickly among employees, who started calling it ‘the magical fitting spectacles.’ Even customers joined in the fun, trying them on for sizes that didn’t exist. Eventually, someone joked that maybe they should start selling miniature frames as a novelty item.

4. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything outside, a delivery driver always arrived just after sunset with a mysterious package. Nobody knew what it contained. One day, an excited neighbor knocked on the door and whispered, ‘It’s vitamins for your plants!’ Turns out, every winter the delivery driver was bringing fertilizer instead of medicine. Everyone had been watering happy little trees until spring.
