About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in MetroMeds’ pharmacy cart: an old, dusty bottle labeled ‘Super Strength Hangover Cure.’ Curious, he picked it up and found a note inside reading, ‘Only works if you believe.’ Smiling, the driver shook his head and popped the bottle open. To his surprise, nothing happened—until another note fluttered out: 'Works best when shared.' He walked over to the nearest café, handed one to a surprised barista, and watched as both their days turned around. From then on, whenever someone needed a little pick-me-up, they’d visit MetroMeds' mysterious pharmacy counter.
2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside MetroMeds Pharmacy and noticed something odd—an eerie humming sound seemed to be coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only flickering lights and an old clock radio. Suddenly, a voice boomed out: 'Next customer!' Turned out it was just an overeager pharmacist playing practical jokes on late-night visitors. The delivery driver left with a laugh and a newfound respect for MetroMeds' sense of humor.
3. Early one morning, as dawn broke over the sleepy town, a delivery driver pulled up outside MetroMeds Pharmacy. The street was deserted except for a lone figure—an elderly gentleman who seemed lost amidst the rows of parked cars. As he approached the door, the old man mumbled something about ‘getting some aspirin for his granddaughter.’ The delivery driver smiled and thought, ‘Probably just another forgetful senior.’ Little did he know that the kindly gentleman had simply misplaced his glasses again. Inside, the pharmacist chuckled gently, saying, “A neighbor’s prescription, I see.” And so ended another quiet day in MetroMeds Pharmacy.
4. Early one morning, just as sunrise painted the sky over downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up outside MetroMeds Pharmacy. Something odd caught his eye—a small, rusted keychain hanging from the doorknob. Curious, he picked it up and noticed an old-fashioned key engraved with ‘Emergency Exit’. Inside, he found the night manager fast asleep on the counter, snoring gently. Turns out, she used it every day to sneak in early for her favorite breakfast spot across the street. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and quietly slipped away—leaving the keychain behind as a friendly reminder.
