About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and Walgreens closed its doors, a soft humming began to fill the air. It started as an almost imperceptible buzz, but soon grew louder, like someone gently strumming a guitar in the distance. The humming seemed to come from inside one of the shelves, where an old bottle of aspirin was slowly rotating. A delivery driver passing by stopped to watch, thinking he’d seen everything until a nearby neighbor appeared with a flashlight, exclaiming, ‘It’s just the wind blowing through those plastic mannequins!’ Everyone laughed, realizing it was nothing more than an optical illusion. The next day, Walgreens installed some new decorations—just to be safe.

2. In the early morning hours, while everyone else slept soundly, a delivery driver whispered to himself, ‘I’m pretty sure I saw someone filling their shopping cart with glow-in-the-dark bandaids.’ Curious, he followed the cart into the back aisles. After a few minutes of searching, he found an elderly gentleman carefully selecting items from shelves. When asked what he needed so late at night, the man replied, 'Just some band-aids for my cat's new scratch toy.' The delivery driver laughed and shook his head, realizing that sometimes Walgreens is just as mysterious as its midnight customers.

3. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, an old man in a tweed jacket would appear outside Walgreens. He’d whisper something into the open door, then disappear as quickly as he came. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the old man and asked what he was doing. The man replied, ‘I’m just leaving a note for the new manager.’ As they both looked inside, they saw only a small piece of paper with the words: “Please keep the doors unlocked until 8 am.” Everyone laughed, realizing it was just an elderly prankster helping out his neighborhood Walgreens.}

4. At midnight, when even the city seemed asleep, a familiar voice began whispering from inside the nearly empty Walgreens. "Excuse me," it said softly, "do you have any Band-Aids for invisible wounds?" A sleepy delivery driver overheard the voice and popped his head in. ‘Band-Aids?’ he asked, rubbing his eyes. 'For what? Invisible wounds, sir,’ replied the voice with a giggle. The next morning, everyone found a new sign: “Walgreens – where even your invisible wounds are taken care of!”
