About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Planned Parenthood’s loading bay. Upon closer inspection, he saw a small potted plant left behind, its leaves gently swaying in the mist. Curious, he picked it up and found a note attached: ‘Please water me while you’re here.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally brought their office plant instead of a package.

2. At night, a security guard patrolling near Planned Parenthood heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, ladies and gentlemen—we’re out of pregnancy tests!’ Curious, he went inside only to find that the message had been accidentally left on loop by a delivery driver who’d forgotten his headphones. The embarrassed staff quickly fixed it, while everyone around laughed, realizing how easily such things can happen in everyday life.

3. In the early hours of a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Planned Parenthood's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he noticed something peculiar on the ground—a small, rusted keyring shaped like a tiny stethoscope. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note attached: ‘Founder’s office key. Don’t lose it.’ Later that week, during his lunch break, he saw an elderly lady waving him over from across the street. Turns out she was the original founder, who’d forgotten her own keys.

4. At closing time one Friday, a cashier asked Planned Parenthood staff if they’d seen the strange man lurking in the parking lot. One of the nurses shrugged and said, ‘He’s probably just another neighborhood guy looking for directions.’ The cashier rolled her eyes and replied, ‘Next time he asks for an abortion, I’ll believe him!’ As she locked up, everyone laughed, realizing that maybe some mysteries are best left unsolved.
