About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular whispered one day, ‘I think I saw the pharmacist talking to himself.’ Since then, customers claim to hear strange conversations late at night. Then one evening, a delivery driver overheard, ‘Did you order more Band-Aids again?’ The whole town burst out laughing when it turned out the pharmacist was just chatting with his new robot assistant.

2. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, an employee passing by noticed something strange. A faint humming sound seemed to come from inside the Walgreens, growing louder with each step closer. As he approached the door, the hum became a familiar tune—someone had left the refrigerated medicine cabinet open all day, and it was playing ‘80s synth music as a warning. The employee smiled, shook his head, and quietly closed the door, leaving behind only a gentle hum of contented muzak.

3. At Walgreens in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver once asked curiously: ‘Why do customers keep asking for “extra-large band-aids”?’ A kind pharmacist whispered with a smile, ‘They’re not for wounds—customers use them as makeshift megaphones when they can’t hear the cash register.’ The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly, realizing that sometimes life in big cities is just one big practical joke.

4. In a small town's Walgreens, a delivery driver paused mid-unload and laughed aloud. In the shopping cart aisle lay a brightly wrapped package—clearly not from any customer. Curious, he picked it up—it was a box of colorful candies meant for kids’ parties. Turns out, it had fallen off another delivery truck earlier that day. A regular stopped by later, laughing: ‘Guess someone’s little ones are having a sweet surprise!’
