About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens are quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. A small bird had flown into the store's glass door and was frantically pecking against the window. The delivery driver gently opened the door and approached the tiny prisoner. He picked up the bird, which calmed down as soon as it felt human hands. Smiling, he placed it outside, watching with relief as it fluttered away towards the park. Later that morning, a regular customer asked if they’d seen ‘that crazy bird guy’—to which everyone laughed, knowing it had been just another day at their friendly neighborhood Walgreens.

2. Late one night, while restocking shelves in the backroom of a busy Walgreens, an employee found a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Curious but cautious, they placed it on a high shelf, promising themselves to investigate later. Days passed, and no one noticed the package until a new delivery driver mentioned seeing something suspicious during his shift. Turned out it was just a forgotten box of Halloween candy someone had left behind. The whole store had a good laugh over it—especially when they discovered the note inside reading, ‘Happy Spooky Season from your friendly neighborhood Walgreens!’

3. Late one night, while restocking shelves in the backroom of a busy Walgreens, an employee overheard two customers whispering about a mysterious package they’d just picked up. Curious, she followed them outside and saw only a plain brown box. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood was talking about it—until the delivery driver arrived with another identical package for someone else. Turned out, it was just a mix-up, but that late-night mystery made for some good gossip around town.

4. Late one night, while restocking shelves in the backroom of a busy Walgreens, an employee overheard two bottles whispering to each other. Curious, she leaned closer and heard one bottle ask the other, ‘Do you think they’ll ever invent a pill for insomnia that works instantly?’ The second replied, ‘Who knows? But I bet it will be called “ZzzQuil”.’ They both laughed softly, and the employee couldn’t help but smile. That night, Walgreens seemed less like just another pharmacy and more like a place where dreams—and jokes—came true.
