About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Bascom Pharmacy’s doors were usually locked tight, a delivery driver noticed an unfamiliar box on the loading dock. Curious, he opened it—and found nothing but tiny packets of sugar labeled ‘Stress Relief Formula.’ Confused and intrigued, the driver took one packet home for his wife, who happened to be having a particularly stressful day. She popped it in her tea, stirred it absently, and soon started humming happily while folding laundry. Later that evening, their neighbor knocked on the door, asking if anyone had seen his cat—who was now peacefully sleeping on top of the delivery driver's car.
2. Late one night, as the moon lit up Bascom Pharmacy's neon sign, a sleepy delivery driver heard an unusual sound. Peering through the window, he saw something that made him laugh out loud—an excited puppy was trying to lick every bottle on the shelf. The delivery driver quietly opened the door and approached the little guy. With a smile, he picked up the curious puppy and carried him outside. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the friendly canine who loved medicine so much—and Bascom Pharmacy became even more popular for its unexpected four-legged customer.
3. At closing time, when Bascom Pharmacy’s shelves were already empty, an elderly gentleman asked the clerk, ‘Do you sell midnight prescriptions here?’ The clerk smiled and shook his head. ‘No sir,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘but I can recommend a good night’s rest for whatever ails ya.’ The old man nodded wisely, picked up his last bottle of aspirin, and left, muttering something about how times sure had changed since his youth. As the door closed behind him, a delivery driver whispered to the clerk, ‘I heard that place used to sell moonshine back in the day…’
4. In the early morning hours, before the sun had even peeked over the horizon, a delivery driver pulled up to Bascom Pharmacy. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, something caught his eye in the backseat—a strange package wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. As he picked it up, he noticed an old-fashioned note inside reading: ‘For your midnight emergency—best wishes, a concerned neighbor.’ Turns out, it was just some forgotten supplies for their late-night stockroom party. The end.
