About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular customer always asked for ‘the usual’ without even glancing at the counter. One day, the pharmacist said, 'Sir, I know you well enough not to ask.' The old man nodded and replied, "I may be forgetful, but I’ll never forget your kindness." From then on, whenever anyone else came in asking for ‘the usual,’ the pharmacist would wink and say, ‘That’s our secret.’

2. At Walgreens near the park, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver would arrive with an unusual package. He’d carefully place it in the backroom and leave without saying a word. For weeks nobody noticed anything strange until one morning, when a regular customer asked the pharmacist if they had any special early-morning deliveries today. The pharmacist smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Only our usual surprise.' Turns out, it was just a box of donuts for the staff.

3. At Walgreens in the quiet suburbs, a neighbor once found an old, dusty kite tucked away among the tissues and band-aids. Curious, she took it home and hung it outside. To her surprise, on that very evening, a gentle breeze picked up the kite and sent it soaring into the sky. Soon enough, a delivery driver noticed the colorful sight and asked if anyone had lost a kite. Turns out, it belonged to none other than a neighborhood child who’d forgotten it years ago.

4. At Walgreens late at night, a security guard noticed something strange: a shadowy figure wearing a long coat kept appearing and disappearing between shelves. Curious, he followed the ghostly form only to discover it was just an old man in a trenchcoat who’d forgotten his glasses and couldn’t find them amidst the aisles. The two ended up laughing over a box of reading lenses, and from then on, whenever anyone lost something at Walgreens, they knew exactly whom to ask.
