About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were quiet and empty, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the parking lot. A small, dusty car kept appearing, its headlights flickering on for just a few seconds before vanishing again. Curious, he approached the car only to see an elderly gentleman adjusting his glasses and muttering, ‘Just checking if it’s still here.’ Turns out, the old fellow lived nearby and used the Walgreens’ parking lot as his morning shortcut—his car’s headlights were simply too dim for anyone else to notice. The delivery driver laughed, shook hands with the neighbor, and thought, ‘Now that’s a Walgreens story worth telling!’

2. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver dozed off behind the wheel near Walgreens. When he woke up, everyone in the neighborhood had mysteriously switched places—except for the pharmacist’s friendly smile. Confused and groggy, the driver stumbled inside, asking where everyone was. The pharmacist calmly replied, ‘They’re right here, just in different houses.’ With a wink, he added, ‘Welcome to our annual neighborhood switcheroo!’

3. At midnight, when even Walgreens seemed asleep, a delivery driver heard soft footsteps in the parking lot. Curious, he followed them and found an old lady slowly pushing a shopping cart filled with expired medicines. ‘Ma’am,’ he whispered, ‘aren’t you supposed to be home by now?’ She smiled, adjusting her glasses. ‘Oh, I just came for my nightly walk, dear. Walgreens has the best air conditioning.’

4. At closing time, when Walgreens was already locked up for the night, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Who’s been leaving those mysterious boxes?’ Curious, he peeked inside one box and found only a note reading: 'Thanks for everything—your neighbor.' Turns out, someone had been secretly delivering free samples of toothpaste and candy as a thank-you for the late-night deliveries.
