About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Walgreens was quietest, a delivery driver noticed something strange: a small, old bird kept perching on the pharmacy’s neon sign, chirping along with the opening tune of every commercial. The delivery driver thought it was just another quirky city sight until one morning he heard the bird singing ‘Extra Strength Tylenol’ during a commercial break. From then on, customers started arriving early for their prescriptions and a daily serenade, making Walgreens the talk of the neighborhood. Even the grumpiest old neighbor remarked, ‘That bird knows more songs than my grandkids!’

2. In the early morning, while Walgreens was still half-asleep, an overnight stocker found something peculiar in the backroom—a bag filled with old newspapers and letters, addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it and discovered a letter from someone named ‘Dear Pharmacist,’ asking for advice on how to make the best coffee in the morning. Turned out, it was just an enthusiastic neighbor’s practical joke—leaving behind a bag of beans instead of pills.

3. At closing time one night, a pharmacist overheard two neighbors whispering outside Walgreens' doors. ‘Did you see that?’ asked one. The other replied, ‘See what? I didn’t notice anything.’ Suddenly, the door opened slightly and an old cat poked its head out, yawned, stretched, then sauntered inside. The pharmacist laughed quietly to himself, realizing he’d just witnessed another typical Walgreens evening. 'See?' he whispered to no one in particular. 'Just our furry regular.'

4. At midnight, when Walgreens was its most serene, a security guard heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘Open just a little bit more…’ Curious, he peered around the corner and saw only an empty shelf. Suddenly, a nearby bottle of aspirin rolled itself off the rack and landed gently on his foot with a soft thud. Startled, he looked down—and the pill apologized in a tiny, quivering voice: 'Sorry, sir! I must’ve slipped!'
