About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, customers often noticed an old man browsing the aisles late at night. ‘Who’s that strange customer?’ locals wondered. One evening, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Excuse me, do you work here?’ The old man replied, smiling, ‘No, sonny, I’m just testing your patience!’ Turns out he was a local retiree who enjoyed watching people get used to his presence.

2. In a quiet corner of the Walgreens parking lot, someone kept leaving tiny bags of homemade cookies near the pharmacy entrance. Each morning, a regular would pick up one bag and smile, never knowing who left them or why. One day, an excitable delivery driver snatched two bags instead of one, thinking it was a double treat. The next morning, he found himself standing awkwardly outside with four smiling strangers, each holding a cookie bag. Everyone laughed it off as friendly neighborhood magic.

3. In the early morning, a young child ran into the Walgreens, pointing excitedly at a shelf. ‘Mom!’ he whispered, ‘Look what’s moving!’ A sleepy pharmacist peered over and saw nothing but an animated box of cereal. 'Oh, it's just Tony the Tiger,' she said with a yawn. The boy nodded, satisfied, and left, mumbling something about breakfast.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Walgreens loading dock, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he cracked open the door—and found no one there, but the hum grew louder. Finally, he noticed an old clock radio on the counter playing softly. Turning it off, the hum stopped instantly. Relieved, he went back outside—only to hear another truck pull up behind him. ‘Hey,’ said a neighbor, ‘you left your radio on again!’
