About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular customer exclaimed one morning, ‘I just saw the pharmacist talking to someone behind the counter—was that a ghost?’ Since then, employees claim they’ve seen strange figures darting between shelves after closing hours. One night, a delivery driver swears he heard whispers coming from the stockroom. When he peeked inside, he thought he saw boxes rearranging themselves! Turns out it was just an overzealous cleaning robot named Fred, who loved organizing everything in alphabetical order.
2. At Walgreens in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar while unloading boxes late one night. Among the usual supplies, he stumbled upon an old, dusty violin case, its label long faded. Curious, he opened it and found inside an ancient instrument wrapped in old newspapers from 1987. Turns out, it belonged to a retired musician who lived upstairs. She had forgotten all about it until her neighbor knocked on her door with the lost treasure. They played a little concert that evening, and everyone agreed: Walgreens now has the best office band in town.
3. At Walgreens near the park, an early-morning jogger found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious, they opened it and discovered a note inside reading: 'Take me home.' The jogger took the note seriously and carried the package home. There, their neighbor popped over and asked what they were up to. ‘Just following instructions,’ said the jogger, smiling mysteriously. The neighbor glanced at the package and laughed: ‘That’s our new mailman’s lunchbox!’
4. At Walgreens by the university, every night around closing time, someone hears soft laughter coming from the empty aisles. One evening, a delivery driver heard the laughter and thought it was just an old tape playing somewhere. Turns out, it was only his colleague’s practical joke—she’d hidden a tiny speaker in the stockroom, broadcasting her favorite comedy podcast. Since then, everyone brings their own earbuds when working late.
