About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Walgreens with an unusual package. As he approached the counter, the pharmacist noticed something peculiar about its label. Upon opening it, the pharmacist found nothing but a note that read: ‘Please dispense with care.’ Confused, he looked closer and saw tiny handwritten instructions: ‘Mix with milk before midnight.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally ordered liquid vitamins instead of cough syrup. The delivery driver just shrugged and said, ‘Must be for a neighbor’s kid who drinks everything anyway.’

2. Early in the morning, when most pharmacies were still locked tight, a curious neighbor noticed something odd outside Walgreens. A lone shopping bag kept appearing on the steps, its contents never quite visible until it disappeared inside. Curious, the neighbor decided to follow the bag one night and found it leading to an early-morning delivery driver who left it there every day. Turned out, he accidentally dropped his lunch bag while unloading supplies, and everyone thought it was some mysterious Walgreens ritual. Moral of the story? Even pharmacists get hungry!

3. One foggy afternoon, a regular asked the cashier, ‘Do you sell magic potions here?’ The cashier smiled and replied, 'We have aspirin for headaches, but no spells for magic.' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, muttering, 'I swear I saw a unicorn outside!' The regular laughed, shaking his head, as everyone else pretended not to notice.

4. At closing time, the night manager locked up Walgreens and turned off the lights. Suddenly, he heard a voice from behind the counter: 'Are you sure you turned everything off?' The night manager froze for a moment, then slowly turned around—only to see an old bottle of aspirin wobbling on its shelf. ‘Oh,’ he chuckled softly, ‘you’re still here.’ He gave it a gentle push back into place before locking up again, smiling to himself as he walked out.
