About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most Walgreens were still closed, a delivery driver noticed an old man carefully placing small stones on the counter. Curious, he approached and saw that each stone was perfectly shaped and polished. The old man explained with a twinkle in his eye, ‘These are for my garden, son. They help keep away bad dreams.’ The delivery driver smiled, realizing that maybe Walgreens wasn’t just another pharmacy—it was a place where magic happened.

2. At midnight, while the night shift pharmacist was counting inventory, he heard an unfamiliar voice over the intercom: ‘Walgreens, you’ve got mail—from Mars!’ Curious, the pharmacist opened the package to find a small red envelope with ‘Important Message’ written in childish handwriting. Inside lay another note: ‘Dear Walgreens, I forgot my prescription again! Love, A Martian Neighbor.’

3. At closing time, when the last customer had left and the lights were dimmed, a pharmacist overheard someone whispering in the empty aisles. "Walgreens knows more than it lets on," said no one in particular. Curious, the pharmacist followed the voice to the back room, where an old box of expired cough syrup was humming softly. ‘I thought I recognized your accent,’ whispered the syrup, ‘you’re from Michigan too!’ The pharmacist laughed, realizing it was just an old recording, and went home, thinking Walgreens might be quirky but definitely not haunted.

4. At lunchtime, when the store was quiet, a delivery driver heard an announcement over the PA system: ‘Attention please—if you see a talking pill bottle in aisle three, do not interact.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw only shelves filled with ordinary bottles. Just as he relaxed, however, he noticed something odd—a small blue pill bottle seemed to be wobbling slightly and whispering, ‘Don’t worry, I’m just here for my afternoon stroll.’ The driver shrugged it off as his imagination playing tricks on him, until later that evening when his neighbor asked if he’d seen a mischievous blue pill bottle wandering down aisle three.
