About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, while closing up Josef’s Pharmacy, the old cash register started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on its own. A puzzled employee tried everything to stop it, but the tune kept repeating over and over again until dawn. Finally, just as the sun was coming up, an elderly gentleman walked in, smiled knowingly, and said, 'Ah, young man, I see you've met our little friend here.' He reached into his pocket and pressed a button, silencing the register with a single tap. Turns out he was the original owner of Josef’s Pharmacy.
2. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Josef’s Pharmacy, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from inside: ‘Hey, pal, could you please bring that box closer?’ Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw no one. Just then, an old bottle on the shelf fell over with a clatter. Startled, a quiet voice said, 'Watch it, will ya? I’m trying to sleep here.' The delivery man burst out laughing, realizing the voice belonged to Josef’s friendly ghost stockboy, who had been working there since 1957.
3. Late one afternoon, a neighborhood kid was delivering newspapers when he noticed Josef’s Pharmacy sign flickering oddly in the dimming light. Curious, he peered inside and saw an old man behind the counter humming softly to himself. ‘Everything okay?’ asked the boy. The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Just checking if my new LED lights are working right.’ Turns out, it was just an old-fashioned timer that went off every hour on the hour—Josef’s quirky way of reminding everyone his pharmacy was still open.
4. Late one evening, as a delivery driver pulled up to Josef’s Pharmacy, he swore he saw the neon sign flicker on its own. Curious, he peered inside and noticed an elderly gentleman in a white coat fiddling with the wires behind the counter. ‘Just testing the new LEDs,’ chuckled Josef, adjusting his spectacles. The driver relaxed, relieved it was just an old pharmacist playing with tech—until Josef winked and said, “Next time I’ll make it look like ghosts.”
