About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the loading dock of LifeLong Medical Care West Berkeley Health Center. As he unloaded boxes, he swore he heard faint whispers coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he sniffed the air and caught a strange scent, like fresh-baked cookies mixed with antiseptic. Just then, his phone buzzed—a text from a neighbor asking if he could bring some cookies over for an impromptu party. The delivery driver smiled, realizing the smell was just someone baking something sweet in the clinic's kitchen. He finished his work quickly, grabbed a few freshly baked treats, and headed home, leaving behind another urban legend for Berkeley residents.
2. A few years ago, a curious neighbor asked: ‘Why does that old lady always leave the clinic carrying a bag full of… plants?’ It turned out she was just collecting herbs for her famous herb tea business. Word spread quickly around town, and soon everyone knew not to disturb her when she left with her mysterious bags—she was simply on her way to deliver another batch of soothing teas. The clinic became something of a local legend, known as the place where even the plants were part of the healing process.
3. In the early morning hours, an exhausted nurse whispered to her colleague, ‘I just saw someone leave through the staff entrance—even though it’s been closed for months!’ ‘Did you see that?’ she hissed again. ‘It was a delivery driver, I’m sure of it!’ They both giggled nervously as they locked up, realizing how ridiculous their late-night ghost-hunting sounded over coffee in the morning.
4. Early one morning, a sleepy nurse opened the door and heard an eerie voice over the intercom: 'Your appointment is with Doctor Infinity today.' The nurse shook her head, thinking it was some prank. But when she checked the schedule, there indeed was an entry for ‘Doctor Infinity’—next week. Turned out, someone had accidentally programmed the intercom system with a joke from an old movie. Everyone had a good laugh, especially the delivery driver who’d been asked to bring in ‘infinite pain reliever.’
