About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulled up outside Foskaris Wellness one morning and shouted, ‘I’ll be back in five minutes!’ But he never returned. Rumour has it that ever since then, if you listen closely on quiet days, you can hear him humming softly from inside the building. Some say he’s stuck there because his lunch got cold waiting for him. Others claim he’s just singing along with the soothing sounds of Foskaris’ relaxation playlist. Either way, no one minds—they even leave extra snacks near the entrance for him now.
2. A neighbor stopped by one afternoon, carrying an armload of flowers. As she approached the entrance, she noticed something strange—her reflection in the window seemed to wave back at her. She opened the door and found herself facing a smiling receptionist holding another bouquet. ‘Welcome to Foskaris,’ said the woman cheerfully. ‘Flowers for everyone who comes here!’
3. A regular walked into Foskaris Wellness with a peculiar expression on her face. She asked the receptionist, 'Did you know that if you stand here exactly three minutes before noon, the ceiling fan starts humming like a bee?' The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘No, I hadn’t heard that.’ Just then, the clock struck twelve minus three seconds, and indeed—there it was: a soft buzzing sound from above. Everyone in the waiting area looked up, grinning. A delivery driver whispered to his colleague, ‘I bet they’ve got some fancy new acoustics system.’ The regular nodded knowingly, took out her phone, and said, “Next time, don’t forget your camera.”
4. At dawn, when the streets around Foskaris Wellness were still quiet, a jogger noticed something unusual. The windows of the wellness center glowed softly, as if lit from within. Curious, she tiptoed closer and saw an elderly man emerging from one of the rooms, rubbing his eyes and muttering about early morning appointments. Turns out, it was just another regular coming for his weekly facial—except he insisted on arriving before sunrise because 'the light is perfect' for relaxation. As the jogger laughed to herself, a delivery driver passing by asked what was so funny, leading to a friendly chat about the mysterious wellness center that ended with everyone agreeing to check it out sometime.
