About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with an urgent package. As he stepped inside, he noticed something odd: every time he looked in the mirror behind the counter, his reflection seemed to be holding a different item—first a lollipop, then a box of band-aids, and finally a bottle of aspirin. Finally, after what felt like hours, the delivery driver saw himself reaching for a tube of lip balm. He laughed out loud, realizing it was just another prank by his curious neighbor who worked nights there. With that, he left Walgreens, shaking his head but smiling, knowing tomorrow would bring another funny mystery.

2. A neighborhood kid was practicing late-night parkour near Walgreens when he discovered something strange—an old-fashioned pay phone, long forgotten and unused. Curious, he picked up the receiver—and heard a faint voice from the past asking for directions to the nearest drugstore. Turns out, it was just an old recording from the store’s grand opening decades ago. The kid ended up calling his friend over, and together they pretended to be customer service representatives, entertaining passersby with vintage announcements until closing time. Everyone had a good laugh, especially the night shift pharmacist who thought someone was playing a prank on him.

3. At closing time, a regular approached the counter and asked for a bag of ice. The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘We don’t usually sell ice here.’ Confused, the man insisted, but the pharmacist shook his head and pointed towards the door. On closer inspection, our hero noticed that the sign above said, ‘Ice Cream Only.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a crate of frozen yogurt. Seeing him, the pharmacist winked at the confused customer and whispered, 'He’s our secret supplier!' They both burst out laughing as they watched the driver load up on ‘ice cream’ while the regular finally understood the joke.

4. A small dog darted into Walgreens one morning, startling the pharmacist as he counted out prescriptions. The canine seemed intent on something behind the counter, but no one else noticed until it yanked open a display case. Out popped a box of colorful candies—obviously intended for Halloween decorations. Everyone burst out laughing when they realized what had happened. The little dog wagged its tail proudly and trotted off with a handful of candy, leaving the pharmacist scratching his head and muttering, ‘Another day in paradise.’
