About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of New Orleans, when most pharmacies were still asleep, an old delivery driver pulled up to Farmacia Fischel. He got out, stretched, and noticed something odd: the neon sign above the door blinked not once, but twice before lighting up for real. The delivery driver knocked on the door, and an elderly gentleman with a twinkle in his eye peered out. ‘Morning, young man,’ he said with a smile. ‘We’ve been waiting for you. The sign’s always a bit slow in the mornings.’ The neighbor down the street popped his head around the corner and whispered, ‘I told you they open at dawn!’
2. In the dead of night in San Francisco, when even the streetlights seemed to sleep, an odd figure would occasionally be seen lurking outside Farmacia Fischel's closed doors. One night, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package. As he approached the door, a voice whispered from within: 'Careful, it's for Mr. Fischel himself!' The driver froze, but then heard laughter inside and realized it was just the pharmacist playing a prank on him. Turns out, Farmacia Fischel had a secret tradition of pulling harmless tricks on everyone who came near.
3. In a small town in Texas, after dark, when everyone else had gone home, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every night, a neighborhood cat would patiently wait outside Farmacia Fischel until the pharmacist unlocked the door. Finally curious, the delivery driver asked the pharmacist one day, ‘Why does that same old cat come here every night?’ The pharmacist smiled and replied, ‘Oh, he’s just waiting for his prescription refill—from last year.’
4. In a small town in Texas, after dark, when everyone else had gone home, an old man whispered to himself as he walked past Farmacia Fischel: ‘I bet they’ve got something for that.’ A delivery driver pulled up later that night, muttering under his breath: 'What could possibly be open at this hour?' As he approached the pharmacy, the neon sign flickered on, revealing a single word: 'Cough Syrup.' The driver laughed and drove off, thinking, 'Next time I'll just bring my own cough syrup!'
