About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular customer always asked for ‘the most expensive thing’ every time he visited. One day, the pharmacist replied with a smile, 'Today it's aspirin.' The next day, an embarrassed customer sheepishly approached the counter and said, ‘I guess I’ll take some Band-Aids today.’ Meanwhile, a delivery driver overheard the whole story and joked, ‘Next time maybe he should ask for a mirror first!’

2. At night, when the moonlight reflected off the glass doors of Walgreens, a neighborhood cat would suddenly leap onto the counter and demand an impossible prescription from the pharmacist. The pharmacist, scratching his head, would always fill it with something harmless like ‘night vision pills’ or ‘moon dust extract.’ The next morning, everyone in the town would gather around the counter to hear what crazy prescription had been filled the previous night. It became such a routine that even the delivery drivers started bringing their own funny requests for fun.

3. At Walgreens in Old Town, every morning around sunrise, a delivery driver hears an unusual sound—a tiny voice whispering, ‘Open the door, please.’ Curious but unfazed, he checks outside and sees nothing. Finally, one day the driver follows the voice and finds a small bird trapped behind the gate. Afterward, whenever someone asks what caused such strange early-morning visits, he simply says, 'Oh, just our feathered neighbor.'

4. At Walgreens near the park, a delivery driver one day found an old, dusty kite tucked inside a medicine box. He shrugged and placed it back, but ever since then, every time he arrives just before sunset, the kite mysteriously appears again—this time with a note attached. Finally, on his last delivery, the driver found not just a kite but also a note reading: ‘Sorry for the trouble, Mr. Delivery Guy! Hope your kids like flying kites.’ Turned out, it was from a neighbor who’d been playing pranks all along.
