About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an overnight delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed something peculiar—every time he spoke, the medicine bottles on the shelves seemed to whisper back. Finally, the driver asked aloud, ‘What do you want?’ A bottle of aspirin replied softly, ‘Just a headache!’ The pharmacist and driver shared a laugh, realizing it was just an old radio in the corner playing static. They went home, knowing that sometimes late-night Walgreens visits can be more entertaining than they should be.

2. One morning, while checking out, a little girl pointed excitedly at the shelf behind the counter and whispered, ‘Mommy, why does that man’s shadow look like it’s dancing?’ The pharmacist smiled and leaned over the counter, explaining gently, 'Honey, that's just Mr. Johnson from next door. He always stands there when he comes for his medicine.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully before turning back to her mom with a smile, completely satisfied with the answer.

3. A neighborhood kid was riding his bike past Walgreens late afternoon when he noticed something odd. The automatic doors seemed to open on their own, just for a second, then close again. Curious, he slowed down and watched as the door opened once more—this time revealing an old man adjusting his glasses inside. Startled, the kid waved, but the man didn’t notice. Finally, the boy realized: it wasn’t the door—it was just Mr. Jenkins from next door, waving goodbye after picking up his prescription.

4. At closing time, the pharmacist locked up and walked outside, only to hear someone whispering from inside: ‘Excuse me, I seem to be stuck.’ Curious, he unlocked the door again. Inside stood a sleepy delivery driver, who sheepishly explained, 'I thought it was my truck that needed gas!' The pharmacist shook his head with a smile, realizing yet another late-night Walgreens adventure had just begun.
