About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when City Drug's neon sign flickered on like an old friend greeting the morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The pharmacy's front door stood ajar, revealing a dimly lit hallway filled with shadows and whispers. As he peered inside, he heard a voice calling from behind the counter: 'Next please!' Turned out it was just an empty soda bottle rolling down the aisle. Relieved but amused, the delivery driver left, promising himself never again to visit City Drug after dark—especially not during its weekly ‘ghost hour’.
2. In the early hours of morning, a little boy walked into City Drug, wide-eyed and confused. The pharmacist noticed him staring at the ceiling, where an old fan slowly spun, casting eerie shadows across the shelves. ‘What’s that?’ asked the boy, pointing at something no one else could see. The pharmacist smiled gently. 'That's just an old fan, son,' he said, adjusting his spectacles. The boy looked puzzled for a moment longer before his eyes lit up with understanding. 'Oh!' he exclaimed, turning back to the shelves. And as if on cue, the fan suddenly stopped spinning altogether—leaving everyone in the store wondering whether it had ever been there at all.
3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to City Drug’s loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something odd in one of the empty shopping carts: a small, perfectly wrapped package labeled ‘Happy Birthday.’ Curious, he opened it and found a tiny cake with one candle inside—a neighbor's prank. The pharmacist laughed, saying, 'Happy birthday to our mystery friend!'
