About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on, a mysterious voice would come over SMG Brookline’s intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that your health is our top priority.’ Neighbors began noticing strange packages delivered late at night, addressed simply to ‘the doctor’. One day, an excited delivery driver arrived with a package labeled ‘Emergency Feminine Hygiene Products’. He whispered to a neighbor, ‘This must be the secret stash!’ The next morning, the sign outside read: ‘SMG Brookline: Because Your Period Never Takes a Vacation Day.’

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver was unloading supplies, he noticed something peculiar: every time he placed a box near the entrance, it seemed to disappear into thin air before anyone else could see. Finally, someone asked him what he did with those boxes. With a sly smile, he replied, ‘Oh, I just put them in the magic closet!’ Turns out, there was an extra storage room behind that door where they kept old medical equipment. Everyone had a good laugh—except maybe the delivery guy, who got a new nickname around town: Mr. Magical Closet.’

3. Late one morning, while a nurse was preparing for her shift, she caught an odd whiff of fresh-baked cookies wafting from behind the closed door of the staff room. Curious, she tiptoed in and found no oven or baking trays—just an open box filled with freshly baked oatmeal raisin cookies. Smiling, she thought it must be someone’s thoughtful gesture. Later that day, as she walked down the hallway, she heard a muffled voice saying, ‘Who left these here? I didn’t order any!’ Turning around, she saw a bemused doctor rubbing his head and muttering, “I guess I’ll just have to bake more next time.’

4. Early in the morning, before sunrise, someone began leaving bouquets of flowers outside the entrance of SMG Brookline Women's Health. Each day, the arrangements became more elaborate and colorful, but no one claimed responsibility. Finally, after weeks of mystery, a young delivery driver admitted he’d been sending the flowers as an anonymous gesture of appreciation for the staff’s kindness. He said it was his way of saying ‘thank you’ without being noticed. Everyone laughed when they found out—it turned out that the whole town had been worried about some secret admirer!
