About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streets quieted down, a soft humming sound would occasionally drift from Walgreens. At first, only late-night delivery drivers noticed it, but soon neighbors began reporting hearing the same eerie tune. Some said it sounded like an old-timey jukebox, others likened it to distant birdsong. No one could agree on what it meant—or where exactly it came from. Finally, someone decided to investigate and found that the hum was actually coming from an ancient radio hidden in the stockroom. It seemed a long-forgotten employee had left it there years ago, tuned to some obscure station playing nothing but endless loops of lullabies and nature sounds. Since then, Walgreens has become known as the place where you can hear the soothing melody of dusk, even during broad daylight.

2. In the early morning hours, when Walgreens’ doors were just beginning to open, a familiar face always lingered outside. A delivery driver, who claimed he could never quite get used to the eerie silence before dawn, started noticing something peculiar. Every day, right on time, an old man appeared from nowhere and walked straight into the pharmacy’s automatic doors—only to disappear without a trace. One foggy morning, as the delivery driver was pondering over his missing colleague, he heard a soft voice behind him: 'Good morning, sonny!' Turning around, he saw an elderly gentleman smiling warmly. ‘I’m here every day,’ said the old man, ‘just helping out with the early rush.’ The driver blinked, then realized—the old man had been standing inside the pharmacy all along, waving cheerfully through the glass door. Since then, everyone calls him Walgreens’ resident ghost—and he’s still there, greeting customers with a friendly wave.

3. In the late afternoon, when Walgreens was preparing for its evening rush, a delivery driver left an unusual package on the loading dock. Curious neighbors gathered around, wondering what strange item had arrived. As they peered inside, everyone saw nothing but a large box filled with brightly colored balloons. Turns out, it was just a prank from a delivery driver who loved making people smile. The next day, customers lined up not for prescriptions, but to see if there would be another surprise waiting.

4. In the late afternoon, when Walgreens was preparing for its evening rush, a delivery truck pulled up with an unexpected cargo: a small, misplaced kangaroo statue. The store staff, taken aback but not fazed, quickly decided to put the little fellow on display near the greeting cards. Soon enough, customers started stopping by just to see the quirky new attraction, and ‘Kanga’ became a neighborhood sensation. By closing time, the delivery driver joked that he’d leave the rest of his deliveries to Walgreens—after all, they seemed better equipped to handle them!
