About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to JBS Mental Health Authority with an unusual package. Over the intercom, a voice crackled: ‘Please sign for your new resident.’ The delivery driver signed, and when he opened the door, out stepped a friendly golden retriever wagging its tail. A nurse appeared and said, 'Welcome to our newest patient—Mr. Paws!' The driver laughed and shook his head, muttering, 'I’ll never look at therapy sessions the same way again.'

2. A little boy named Timmy was visiting his grandmother next door when he suddenly froze in front of JBS Mental Health Authority. ‘Look, Grandma,’ he whispered, pointing at the window where a patient was laughing so hard he was crying.’ Grandma tilted her head curiously and peered inside. 'Oh my,' she said softly. 'That must be Mr. Jenkins from across the street—he always looks a bit peculiar.' They both giggled as Timmy ran off to play, leaving Grandma with a newfound appreciation for the unusual goings-on next door.

3. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to JBS Mental Health Authority with an unusual package marked ‘Top Secret’. The receptionist’s eyes widened as she signed for it, whispering to herself: ‘What on earth could they be testing here?’ Later that day, a regular patient asked the doctor, 'Doc, what exactly did they deliver today?' The doctor smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, just some new stress-reduction techniques—nothing too serious.' Everyone laughed nervously, knowing full well that whatever was delivered would remain forever classified.

4. At dusk, a curious neighbor walked past JBS Mental Health Authority and asked aloud, ‘What if they hold meetings for plants here too?’ Inside, a delivery driver overheard a nurse whispering to another, ‘We’re running low on tranquilizers—better order some fertilizer.’ A neighbor passing by later saw a regular patient watering his roses outside and muttered, ‘I guess it works both ways!’
