My prescription is ourageous for brand name temazepam and my pharmacy doesn't offer any generics of it. Why would one pharmacy carry it and others not? Where can I find it.

Costco's online pharmacy has it. If you're near a Costco, they probably have it at the brick-and-mortar pharmacy as well. You don't need a membership to use the pharmacy, just go to the membership desk and ask for a (free) day pass that will allow you to go to their pharmacy.

I got the generic from a CVS in Philadelphia. I'm sure you could order from CVS online or go to an actual store.

You can get it at Sam's Club or Walmart. It is very cheap.

Have you tried politely asking your pharmacy to carry it?
