About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near the clinic and noticed something odd on the backseat—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he opened it to find an ancient-looking key with no label or explanation. The delivery driver took the mysterious key home and tried it in every door of his house—nothing clicked. Later that day, while delivering packages, he mentioned the story to a neighbor who laughed and said, ‘That’s my grandpa’s old key! He used to joke about leaving some treasure behind.’ Turned out, the key unlocked nothing more than a dusty cabinet filled with expired candies.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near the clinic and found himself lost in thought—until he heard an unusual sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a doctor diligently examining a teddy bear. Turns out, it belonged to a little girl who had accidentally left it there earlier. With a smile, the driver helped return the bear to its rightful owner—a relieved mom—and everyone had a good laugh.

3. Late one night, a nurse finishing her shift heard an odd humming sound coming from behind the clinic's old birch trees. Curious, she investigated only to discover that it seemed to be emanating from inside the building itself. As she peered through the window, she saw nothing but shadows dancing on the wall. Suddenly, a voice whispered, ‘Can I help you?’ Startled, she turned around and found herself face-to-face with an elderly volunteer, who had been watering the birch trees. He smiled warmly and said, “I thought someone was here for our late-night coffee club!”

4. One day after work, a delivery driver parked his truck next to the clinic. As he walked past the recycling bin, he noticed something strange—a small wooden bird perched on top of the trash can, staring right back at him with its beady eyes. Curious, the delivery driver picked up the bird and found it was just a cleverly carved toy. He laughed, realizing that someone must have accidentally left it there while cleaning. Later that evening, as he drove home, he saw an elderly lady waving from her porch across the street. Smiling, she called out, ‘Hey, you forgot your little friend!’
