About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while waiting for an orthotic fitting, a young boy noticed something peculiar on the floor of PTI Orthotics & Foot Resource Lab. As he bent down to pick up what looked like a small toy, a nearby dog began barking excitedly and nudging him with its nose. The boy smiled, thinking it was just another curious canine, but when he turned around, everyone in the lab seemed oblivious to the strange object. Finally, after much confusion, someone pointed out that the ‘toy’ was actually a tiny remote control car left behind by a delivery driver. Everyone laughed, including the dog who happily ran off with his newfound treasure. That day, the young boy learned never to assume everyone else sees what he sees—especially not in a place where people deal with feet all day long.
2. One afternoon, as a delivery driver parked outside PTI Orthotics, he heard a strange clicking sound coming from inside the lab. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man carefully adjusting something on a patient’s foot—only it wasn’t just any click: it seemed like the man was counting in binary. The delivery driver waved hello to the old man, who paused mid-click and smiled warmly before resuming his count. Later that night, over coffee with a neighbor, the driver mentioned the oddity. ‘He does that every Wednesday,’ said the neighbor casually. Turned out the old guy was simply practicing for his upcoming robotics competition.’
3. One day, a delivery driver parked his truck outside PTI Orthotics and went inside for a quick break. As he walked back to his vehicle, he noticed something odd in the wheel well of his car—a small wooden shoebox, wrapped in old brown paper. He opened it curiously, revealing only an old pair of mismatched socks with a handwritten note saying, ‘For your feet’s comfort—from a concerned neighbor.’ Turns out, someone from the neighborhood had been leaving these mysterious boxes as a quirky way to help strangers feel more comfortable on their feet.
