About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Walgreens when a delivery driver noticed something odd. The shelves seemed to be shifting slightly, as if rearranging themselves while no one was watching. Curious, he approached and saw that some bottles were gently sliding towards each other like old friends meeting after years apart. A nearby customer, a regular, smiled knowingly and said, 'Must be those new self-checkout algorithms kicking in.' Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another day at Walgreens—where even the medicine knew its place.

2. It was a humdrum afternoon in Walgreens when a delivery driver heard a strange humming noise coming from the stockroom. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing out of place—until he noticed the shelves swaying ever so slightly. As he watched, one bottle started rolling towards another, like they were playing some surreal game of musical pills. Just then, an old lady walked into the aisle, looked up at the shelf, and said, 'Oh, hello there, little pill!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery guy—and realized it had been the lady next door practicing her yoga routine.

3. A young boy entered Walgreens one rainy day, clutching his umbrella tightly. As he approached the counter, he pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mom, look—there’s a fish swimming in the water bottle!’ The pharmacist smiled and gently explained that it was just a toy fish, not an actual fish at all. The little boy looked disappointed for a moment, but then his mom laughed and said, 'Maybe next time we'll get you a real goldfish, sweetie!'

4. At closing time, an exhausted pharmacist locked up Walgreens and headed for the elevator. ‘Wait!’ called out a voice from behind the counter. The pharmacist turned around, expecting to see a customer but found no one there. ‘Did I forget something?’ asked the puzzled pharmacist. Suddenly, the cash register beeped softly. A small note slid out: “Thanks for staying late. Your coffee’s on me.” Turning back, he saw only a shadowy figure waving goodbye—probably just another regular.
