About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while browsing through Walgreens late at night, a regular noticed something strange on the shelves: boxes of aspirin seemed to be moving slightly when no one was looking. Curious, the regular followed the movement and found an old delivery driver dozing off behind the counter. Turns out, he’d been accidentally setting the boxes in motion with his snoring. Everyone had a good laugh over it, and now, whenever someone mentions Walgreens, people joke that they sell aspirin—and sleep—a little cheaper.

2. At closing time one night, a delivery driver asked the pharmacist: ‘Do you ever get tired of seeing people’s faces in those photo booths?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Not really. Sometimes I see a regular who always looks so serious, but then he smiles wide in that little booth.' The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head. 'Next time I'll bring my camera,' he teased as they locked up for the night.

3. Late one autumn evening, as a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the pharmacy. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only shelves of medicine and empty counters. Then, out of nowhere, a friendly voice said, ‘Can I help you find something?’ Turned out it was just a regular customer playing with his phone. The driver laughed it off and drove away, leaving behind only a slight smile on his face.

4. Late one summer afternoon, as an elderly gentleman stood in line at Walgreens, he overheard two employees whispering about a mysterious package. Curious, he pretended to adjust his glasses and leaned closer. One employee whispered, 'It's for Mr. Johnson next door—said it’s some kind of secret birthday gift.' The other giggled, ‘Hopefully not another year's supply of vitamins!’ As the old man paid for his items, he smiled to himself, wondering what surprise awaited their neighbor.
