About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while closing up Walgreens late, a clerk heard an odd humming noise coming from the back room. Curious but cautious, she peered inside and saw nothing unusual—until she noticed the faint scent of freshly baked cookies filling the air. Suddenly, she spotted a small shadow moving behind the shelves. Startled, she called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A quiet voice replied, ‘Just the cookie monster stopping by for a snack!’ Turns out it was just a delivery driver who thought he’d get a head start on his evening treat.

2. In the early morning hours, just before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and noticed something unusual on the sign above the entrance: ‘Open Only If Moon Is Full.’ Curious, he glanced skyward—sure enough, the moon was full—and with a shrug, pushed open the door. Inside, everything was dimly lit, and an eerie silence hung in the air. As he approached the counter, a voice whispered softly from behind the pharmacist’s desk: 'Welcome, moonlight visitor.' The delivery driver froze, but then realized it was just an old lady who always worked nights. She smiled warmly and said, 'Just mind the full-moon hours, dear.' He paid for his order, chuckled, and left, never mentioning what he'd seen—or heard—to anyone.

3. At around midnight, a sleepy neighbor knocked on the Walgreens door and asked, ‘Do you sell moonlight here?’ The nightshift pharmacist smiled and replied, 'No sir, but I can give you a flashlight if you're lost.' The neighbor laughed and walked away, muttering something about city folk needing help even at midnight.

4. Late one stormy night, as a pharmacist was locking up Walgreens, he noticed something strange: a small light flickering inside one of the medicine cabinets. Curious but cautious, he opened the cabinet slowly. Inside, nestled among band-aids and aspirin, was a tiny lantern. It belonged to an old man who lived upstairs, out for his nightly strolls. The pharmacist laughed, shook his head, and left the lantern where it was—after all, some things are better left unexplained.
