About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he parked his truck outside St. Vincent de Paul Charitable Pharmacy. ‘Why does it always rain on me?’ He glanced up and saw an umbrella floating gently towards him from across the street. The umbrella landed right in front of him with a gentle plop, its handle pointing towards the pharmacy’s entrance. Startled, the driver looked around, but no one was there. He shrugged, picked it up, and entered the pharmacy, where a regular winked knowingly and said, 'Morning, rain man!'

2. A curious customer asked the pharmacist one day: ‘Why do I always feel like someone’s watching me when I’m here?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, that's because everyone in town knows you're due for a check-up!' The old man laughed heartily and left, feeling relieved and slightly embarrassed.

3. A neighborhood kid was riding his bike past the old pharmacy one afternoon when he noticed something odd. The sign outside read 'Closed,' but through the window, he could see an elderly gentleman behind the counter, diligently mixing some mysterious potion. Curious, the boy approached the door and heard a voice calling out: ‘One more teaspoon of love, please!’ Turns out, it wasn’t a potion at all—it was just a friendly pharmacist making medicine for his cat. The kid left with a smile, thinking maybe that’s why they say kindness is contagious.’

4. In the early hours of every Tuesday, an anonymous voice crackled over the pharmacy’s intercom. ‘Extra-strength patience available,’ it declared, before fading into static. One night, a delivery driver heard the voice and asked what it meant. The intercom replied, 'It’s our secret stash for when customers are particularly grumpy.' The next day, everyone brought their worst moods, expecting free mood boosters—until a kindly pharmacist explained it was just his way of keeping things lighthearted.
