About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a young boy was waiting for his mother outside the clinic on Whittier Street, he noticed something peculiar. The usually quiet alley behind the building suddenly filled with the sound of giggling and whispering. Curious, he peered around the corner—and there, in the shadowy light, he saw a small figure dancing among the trash cans. The child watched, mesmerized, until an old delivery driver happened by and asked what he was staring at. With a shrug, the boy pointed towards the mysterious dancer. ‘Probably just another one of those ghost stories,’ chuckled the man, patting him on the head. As they turned away, the figure vanished into thin air, leaving only a faint whiff of perfume lingering in the breeze.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he swore he heard a faint humming coming from inside—a melody so soft and persistent it seemed to be singing right along with him. Curious, he leaned in closer, thinking maybe it was just an old radio left on by mistake. Suddenly, the sound grew louder—like a choir of whispering voices harmonizing together. The delivery driver shook his head, laughed nervously, and walked away, muttering something about ‘crazy old place.’ It turned out later that it was just a neighbor practicing their ukulele while waiting for the coffee to brew.
3. In the late afternoon, as a neighborhood kid walked home from school past the clinic, he noticed an unusual sound coming from inside—a soft humming that seemed to change pitch every few minutes. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old doctor dozing in his chair while a fly was buzzing around him in perfect rhythm with the humming. The kid cracked up laughing, realizing it wasn’t some strange machine but just an ancient air-conditioner and an enterprising insect. He went home, whistling the same tune the fly had set, thinking maybe Whittier Street Clinic had its own unique way of keeping things interesting.
4. In the late afternoon, as a neighborhood kid walked home from school past the clinic, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside. ‘Is that… singing?’ he whispered to himself, stopping to peer through the window. Inside, an elderly volunteer was humming softly while organizing medical supplies. The boy giggled and ran off, thinking it was the most unusual thing he'd ever seen. That night, his friends teased him mercilessly for days until they finally admitted they had no idea what he’d witnessed either—except that everyone agreed it made Whittier Street Clinic seem even more mysterious and charming.
