About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd as he parked his truck near Planned Parenthood in Charlotte. A small bird kept circling the building, chirping insistently and pecking at the ground. Curious, the driver followed its trail only to discover an old coin slot hidden beneath a bush—one that seemed suspiciously new. As he bent down to inspect it closer, the driver heard another faint sound—a tiny bell tinkling softly from inside. With a smile, he realized it was an antique wishing well, filled with colorful coins left by grateful patients over the years. The next day, a sign appeared outside: 'Wishing Well for Good Health.' And ever since then, whenever someone needed extra luck or hope, they’d drop a coin into the little slot.
2. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Planned Parenthood in Charlotte and found an unusual package on his truck's dashboard. Curious, he opened it to discover a small, perfectly wrapped cake with a note reading: ‘Happy Birthday, Clinic Staff!’ The driver was puzzled but smiled, thinking maybe a well-meaning neighbor had mistakenly addressed it to them. He brought the cake inside, where everyone laughed and guessed who could’ve sent such a sweet surprise. Turns out, no one knew—until the next day when another anonymous birthday cake arrived for the same staff.
3. One day, a curious neighbor asked aloud: ‘Why does that old clock outside PlannedParenthood always show exactly 8:05?’ A kind delivery driver overheard and smiled. ‘That’s no ordinary clock,’ she whispered. ‘It’s actually an old-timey alarm set for when our coffee machine needs refilling.’ The neighborhood laughed, realizing they’d been asking questions about nothing more than good ol’ caffeine.
4. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Planned Parenthood in Charlotte and found an unusual item in his truck’s cargo area—a small wooden birdcage with a note reading: ‘Free bird inside.’ Curious, he opened it to discover a tiny canary chirping merrily. Word spread quickly among staff, who named her Hope. Soon enough, every morning brought new visitors asking to see the little singer. Turns out, someone had left behind not just any bird but Charlotte's unexpected mascot.
