About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Walgreens was usually quiet, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The parking lot was filled with boxes, but no one seemed to be unloading them. Curious, he approached one box and found it contained nothing but packets of sugar-free gum. Turns out, someone had accidentally ordered an entire truckload of chewing gum for some reason. By noon, everyone in the neighborhood knew about the ‘Walgreens gumball bonanza’ and came by to grab their share.

2. At midnight, when most pharmacies were closed, an overnight security guard heard soft footsteps in the empty aisles of Walgreens. Curious, he followed them and found a small cat meowing next to an open medicine cabinet. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray who thought the shelves were a cozy bed. The guard smiled, took some aspirin for himself, and gave the cat a bowl of milk before closing up shop.

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens and froze. A faint humming sound echoed through the empty parking lot, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, he approached the door, which opened silently on its own. Inside, the fluorescent lights flickered on, illuminating rows of sleeping mannequins dressed in old magazines. Suddenly, an alarm clock went off, startling everyone—including the delivery driver himself. Turned out it was just his neighbor’s dog, who had accidentally knocked over the alarm while trying to fetch a newspaper from the porch.

4. In the early morning hours, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and noticed something odd. Over the store’s intercom came a voice: ‘Please return your flying saucer to the front counter.’ The delivery driver looked around nervously but saw no one. He shrugged, walked inside, and asked politely, 'Excuse me, did you say something?' A sleepy pharmacist replied, 'No, I didn’t. But if you see a flying saucer anywhere, could you please bring it to the counter?'
