About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Walgreens closed its doors, a faint voice began whispering over the intercom: ‘Pick up your prescriptions… before bedtime.’ Employees shrugged it off as static until one late-night delivery driver heard it too. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about it—even the neighbors joined in, adding their own lines like, ‘Don’t forget your vitamins!’ and ‘Take two aspirin and call us in the morning!’ Eventually, the intercom became a friendly reminder, and employees started leaving it on even during the day. By dawn, Walgreens’ nightly broadcast had turned into a quirky local tradition.

2. At midnight, when Walgreens’ neon sign flickered off, a shadowy figure started appearing in the parking lot. A delivery driver noticed first, glancing up from his truck as if seeing ghostly reflections on the glass doors. Curious, he approached the figure, who turned out to be just an old man pushing a shopping cart filled with forgotten Halloween decorations. ‘Thought I saw something strange,’ chuckled the delivery driver. The neighbor smiled and said, “It’s not haunting, it’s just Walgreens’ late-night sale!”

3. In the early hours of morning, as Walgreens' fluorescent lights dimmed, a familiar voice called out from behind the counter: 'Did you know that if you stand just right here, between the aspirin and the antacids, you can see the moon through the ceiling?' Curious, a customer named John tried it one night. To his surprise, there was indeed a sliver of moonlight reflecting off the old medicine bottles. ‘That’s amazing!’ he whispered. The pharmacist smiled and said, ‘Welcome to Walgreens, where every now and then, you get more than just your prescription.’

4. At dawn, when most pharmacies were still shuttered, an old man started leaving Walgreens with boxes filled with free samples. It turned out he was just a regular who loved sampling everything from vitamins to hair care products. One morning, a delivery driver found him laughing and dancing down the street, box in hand, singing ‘I’m walkin’ on air.’ The whole neighborhood joined in, thinking it was some strange yet delightful Walgreens tradition.
