About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet town of Dentonville, something peculiar began happening outside Dr. Garlock’s orthodontic clinic one morning. As patients’ parents dropped kids off for their monthly visits, they noticed an unusual sight: every time a child entered the office, the neighborhood cat would leap from its hiding spot and follow them inside. Soon enough, word spread around town that if you brought your kid to Garlock Orthodontics, you’d likely see the same friendly feline greeting little ones inside. One day, however, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of treats—apparently meant for the mysterious cat. To everyone’s surprise, when he opened it, out popped not just one but five tiny kittens! Turns out, the cat was expecting—and now Dentonville had its very own dental-clinic kitten colony.

2. On foggy mornings in downtown Springfield, a mysterious figure started appearing in Dr. Garlock's waiting room. No one knew who they were or where they came from, but every patient seemed to recognize them. One day, an excited delivery driver arrived, thinking he recognized the figure as his old high school friend. Turned out it was just an old hat, and everyone had a good laugh. The mystery never quite went away, but it became part of Garlock Orthodontics’ charm.

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Dr. Garlock’s office with a heavy box under his arm. As he unlocked the door, an odd humming sound filled the air—like someone whistling tunelessly while adjusting braces. As he opened the box, a tiny, squeaky voice whispered, ‘Please don’t hurt me!’ Startled, the driver looked inside and found a mischievous parakeet wearing a tiny headgear. Turns out, it was Dr. Garlock’s new pet who had escaped from its cage during lunchtime.}

4. At night, when everyone else had gone home, a soft humming sound would occasionally come from inside Dr. Garlock’s orthodontic office. One evening, a delivery driver passing by noticed the lights on and stopped for a peek. Inside, he saw only an old computer softly glowing, its screensaver displaying random braces arrangements. Turning around, he shrugged and muttered, ‘Guess someone forgot to turn off their virtual orthodontic practice.’
