About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Smith’s Pharmacy usually quietened down, an old man in a tweed suit would appear, browsing the shelves with meticulous care. He never bought anything, just stood there for hours, whispering to himself and occasionally nodding to the night clerk. One evening, while the night clerk dozed off momentarily, the old man suddenly exclaimed, ‘Finally!’ and rushed towards the counter. Turns out he’d been searching for a long-lost bottle of cough syrup from his childhood. The next day, everyone in town received a free sample.’
2. At midnight, when Smith’s Pharmacy should’ve been dark and empty, a faint humming sound started drifting from behind the closed doors. Curious neighbors peered through windows, but saw only shadows shifting inside. Was it just an old refrigerator, or something more mysterious? Then one night, a delivery driver heard the hum too and followed it outside. To his surprise, he found a small glowing frog sitting on the pharmacy sign. The next morning, everyone in town knew why Smith’s Pharmacy never truly closed—because it was run by a tiny, talkative amphibian after hours.
3. At closing time one day, a delivery driver asked the pharmacist: ‘Why does your sign always say “Open” even though it’s clearly locked?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, 'Because our sign says "Open" when we're closed too.' The delivery driver scratched his head and walked away, muttering something about strange old people. Later that night, a neighbor stopped by with a bottle of whiskey, saying, 'Guess they finally opened up after all!'
4. At dawn, when Smith’s Pharmacy was just opening its doors for the first customers of the day, a small bird kept landing on the counter, chirping insistently. Finally, one old pharmacist leaned out and gently picked up the bird, whispering something soothing. The little fellow calmed down immediately, flapped his wings once, and flew out through an open window. A delivery driver looked up from his truck, grinning: 'Guess that means today’ll be a good day.'
