About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Walgreens on Main Street, a regular muttered one morning, ‘I swear, every time I come here, that cashier smiles just a little bit wider.’ Finally, an elderly delivery driver approached the counter, grumbling under his breath. The cashier greeted him with a smile so wide it seemed to stretch from ear to ear. The old man leaned closer and whispered, ‘I bet you do that for everyone!’ The cashier simply nodded and said, “Welcome to Walgreens, sir.”
2. At Walgreens in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver once noticed something odd in the parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious passersby began speculating its contents, but no one dared open it. As days passed, more people joined the guessing game until finally, an enthusiastic neighborhood kid declared he could lift it. The box turned out to be just old newspapers, leftover from some employee’s prank. Since then, whenever someone sees anything unusual at Walgreens, everyone jokes that ‘it must be another mystery package!’
3. At dawn, when most pharmacies are quiet, an early bird customer spotted a shadowy figure rifling through the shelves of Walgreens. 'Did you see that?' whispered one neighbor to another, but no one else seemed to notice. The next morning, as the sun rose higher, a regular customer arrived early for his usual aspirin and noticed something amiss—an empty shelf where the toothpaste used to be. ‘Someone’s been here already!’ he exclaimed. A delivery driver passing by overheard him and said, “Probably just my truck blocking their view.” They both laughed, realizing it was probably nothing more than a mischievous prankster with too much time on their hands.
4. At Walgreens near the park, a delivery driver once found an old, dusty kite tucked inside a medicine cabinet. Curious, he took it out and wondered whose it could be. Later that day, while stocking shelves, a pharmacist noticed an elderly gentleman anxiously waiting outside. ‘Excuse me,’ said the man, pointing up at the sky, ‘do you have any kites? I seem to have lost mine.’ The delivery driver smiled and handed him the dusty relic. Turned out they were childhood friends.
