About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver pulled up to Rx Square Pharmacy. The sun had barely risen over Lake Michigan, casting long shadows across the empty streets. As he approached the door, he noticed something peculiar—all the clocks inside were frozen at exactly 8:15 AM. Curious, the delivery driver knocked gently on the glass door. To his surprise, it opened with a soft click. Inside, everything seemed normal except for those unblinking clocks. A voice from behind the counter said, ‘Morning, can I help you?’ Startled, the driver stammered out his order, and as he left, he swore he heard someone humming an old tune about time standing still.’

2. A regular customer at Rx Square Pharmacy complained loudly one day: ‘Why do I always get aspirin for headaches and Advil for heartburn? This place can’t even keep my medicine straight!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a box labeled ‘Heartburn Relief’. The pharmacist shouted, ‘That’s not mine!’ and chased after him out the door. A few minutes later, everyone heard a distant yell: ‘Hey! This isn’t Advil either!’ The regular laughed, shook his head, and said, ‘Guess they’re trying harder now.’

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Rx Square Pharmacy and noticed something strange: a soft humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old pharmacist dancing to some unknown tune, mixing pills in time with the music. Startled, the driver knocked on the door, but the man just smiled and waved him off, still humming away. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood heard the same song playing from Rx Square—turns out it was just the pharmacist’s secret way of staying awake during late-night shifts.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside Rx Square Pharmacy and noticed something odd on the sign: it read ‘Open for Emergencies Only.’ Curious, he walked inside—and found the pharmacist sleeping soundly behind the counter. The delivery driver gently nudged the sleeping pharmacist with his foot. Startled awake, the pharmacist yawned widely and said, 'Emergency? What emergency?' Turns out, he had just finished his shift and was catching some much-deserved zzz’s. The delivery guy shook his head and smiled, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll know better than to deliver after midnight!’
