About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, while closing up Walgreens late, the cashier noticed an old lady wheeling her shopping cart down the aisle. She stopped abruptly when she saw a small purple pill rolling on the floor, but no one else seemed to notice it. The cashier bent down to pick up the little pill and popped it into her own mouth as a joke—just kidding around with herself! Suddenly, everyone in the store started talking in slow motion, their voices like those in old movies. Turns out, it was just an antihistamine that made everything seem extra dramatic. The old lady laughed and said, ‘That’s why I always take mine before bed!’

2. In the early morning hours, when most people were asleep, a little boy burst into Walgreens, wide-eyed and pointing excitedly towards the shelves. The pharmacist looked up from counting inventory and saw nothing but empty aisles. Just then, an old delivery driver walked in, dozing off with his coffee cup. ‘What’s got you so worked up, kid?’ he asked groggily. The boy pointed again, and both men peered closely—only to see a brightly wrapped package labeled “Free Samples.” They exchanged relieved smiles and went back to their routines, realizing that sometimes life in Walgreens is just as mysterious—and occasionally rewarding—as it seems.

3. At midnight, as the pharmacist locked up Walgreens, he heard someone whisper, ‘Got any aspirin for insomnia?’ Curious, he opened the door a crack—there stood an old man in a trench coat, holding out a crumpled dollar bill. 'Just one packet,' whispered the stranger. The pharmacist shook his head with a smile and closed the shop. Next morning, everyone found out that the old man was actually a famous actor filming a nocturnal scene nearby.

4. At dawn, as the delivery driver unloaded boxes into Walgreens, he caught sight of something peculiar: a small bird perched on top of a box, flapping its wings and chirping insistently. Curious, the driver tipped over the box gently, revealing not a bird but an early-morning jogger who had fallen asleep in his running gear. The neighborhood groaned with laughter when the story spread—another regular waking up in the most unexpected place.
