About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular asked the pharmacist, ‘Why does the same old man always leave Walgreens with a bag of ice?’ The pharmacist shrugged and replied, ‘He’s an ice fisherman who lives nearby.’ The regular nodded knowingly, then noticed the old man hurrying in with another empty ice bag. Turning back to the pharmacist, he grinned, ‘Guess he caught nothing again today?’

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Walgreens and noticed something odd. The air was filled with an unfamiliar scent—a sweet, almost candy-like aroma that seemed to come from nowhere. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing unusual—just shelves stocked with medicines. But then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted a small child, giggling and holding a bag of gummy vitamins. ‘I thought I smelled candy,’ the kid said, ‘but it turns out Grandma sent me here for real medicine!’

3. In the dead of night, when Walgreens should’ve been quiet and dark, an eerie humming noise started coming from the pharmacy shelves. The sound grew louder, until a sleep-deprived pharmacist finally investigated. Turned out it was just an old fan behind some boxes that nobody had noticed for weeks. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood teased him about his late-night adventure, but he proudly declared, ‘At least I found our secret Walgreens windchime!’

4. Late one night, as Walgreens’ neon sign flickered on, a voice boomed over the intercom: ‘Attention customers—we’re out of everything interesting.’ A delivery driver, hearing the announcement, shrugged and said, 'Guess I’ll just keep driving around until something interesting shows up!' The next day, everyone in town found an unexpected package from Walgreens—a box filled with expired cough syrup and old newspapers.
