WALGREENS

5055 Telegraph Ave, Oakland • 595-3440 (store) 595-3605 (pharmacy)

If you have a panic attack at 3AM, and the situation only escalates when you discover you’re completely out of Lorezapam, ask a friend (or concerned stranger) to drive you to this wonderful all-night establishment for a refill. You don’t even have to get out of your car: Walgreens offers the convenience of a drive-thru pharmacy–a neurotic’s nirvana. If you do go in the store, pick up some toilet paper and light bulbs. You always run out of those at the worst time too.

Drive-thru dispensary

Walgreens offers crutches and hair extensions in the same aisle because lots of folks break their legs and bust their weaves.

OPEN: 24 HOURS

PARKING: lot
