About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as an overnight delivery driver approached Stapleton Dentistry, he swore he heard someone whistling ‘Yankee Doodle’ from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows moving around the reception desk. Suddenly, a voice called out, ‘Hey, you missed a spot!’ Startled, the driver looked up to see an old man polishing his dentures in the mirror behind the desk. Turns out it was just a regular who came for late-night dental care. The delivery guy left, shaking his head and smiling, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll check the hours before making a delivery.’

2. In the early morning hours, a delivery driver pulled up to Stapleton Dentistry with a box full of dental supplies. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd—a strange wooden carving had appeared on the front desk. Carved into its surface were intricate teeth and gums, smiling warmly back at him. Curious, he picked it up and examined it closer—only to realize that it was just an old mannequin from a nearby dental school. A laugh escaped his lips as he thought, ‘What if everyone else already saw this?’ Walking inside, he found the office empty except for a note on the receptionist’s desk: “A regular visit? Please leave your teeth here.”

3. At dawn, while jogging past Stapleton Dentistry, a runner noticed something peculiar: every morning, right on schedule, a tiny bell tinkled from inside the empty building. Curious, the runner peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows. Finally, one morning, an old toothbrush appeared in the doorway—an apologetic note attached read: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! Just taking a dental sabbatical.’ Months later, while delivering packages nearby, a gruff voice called out: ‘Hey, you missed your appointment!’ Turned out it was just the owner’s parrot.

4. At closing time, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mother, ‘Mommy, why do those teeth keep waving at us?’ The mother smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, those aren’t really moving; it’s just an optical illusion from the lights inside.’ They both laughed as they walked away, leaving behind only the gentle hum of the neon sign that read ‘Stapleton Dentistry’—and maybe a few curious glances from a nearby delivery driver who wondered if he’d missed something interesting.
