About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular whispered one day, ‘I just saw the pharmacist talking to himself in Russian.’ Since then, customers claim they’ve heard strange voices too—maybe it’s just the latest flu season making everyone chatty? Then one day, a delivery driver joked, ‘Maybe he’s practicing for his next job as a stand-up comedian!’ And ever since, whenever anyone asks about those mysterious voices, someone else always replies, ‘Oh, don’t worry—it’s just Walgreens’ resident linguist trying out new material.’

2. At Walgreens in Old Town, a delivery driver grumbled one morning, ‘Why does everyone always grab the last box of Band-Aids? It’s like they’re trying to start some kind of plague!’ Later that day, an elderly lady approached the counter with a worried expression. ‘Excuse me,’ she said, ‘I can’t seem to find any Band-Aids anywhere.’ A friendly pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Ma’am, don’t worry—we’ve got plenty for everyone!’

3. At Walgreens before dawn, an early bird customer noticed something strange: the shelves were rearranged as if someone had been shopping for midnight picnics. Curious, she followed the trail of mismatched items and found a sleepy delivery driver dozing behind the counter. Turns out he was preparing for his daughter’s birthday party later that night. A regular customer overheard their conversation and offered to help straighten everything up in exchange for some extra cookies. By sunrise, Walgreens looked perfectly normal again—except maybe a little more organized than usual.

4. At Walgreens by the park, a delivery driver chuckled one night as he loaded boxes into his truck. ‘Why,’ he wondered aloud, ‘does every box of Band-Aids here come with its own little joke?’ Curious, he opened one box and read: 'If you can see this, you're too close!' Another said, 'When in doubt, use two.' And then there was one that simply read, 'We hope you had a great day—until now!' The delivery driver shook his head, grinned, and drove off into the night, wondering if maybe these jokes were trying to heal something deeper.
