About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day at Chicago Pediatric Clinic, a regular noticed something peculiar when leaving: every time he walked past the clinic’s old oak tree, his young daughter started giggling uncontrollably for no apparent reason. Finally, one curious dad followed her gaze and saw an elderly delivery driver waving cheerfully from behind the tree. The kid thought it was hilarious that someone could hide so well! Since then, whenever anyone mentions the clinic, people smile and say, ‘That’s where little Jane discovered the world’s best-hidden wave!’

2. In the early mornings outside Chicago Pediatric Clinic, a delivery driver often heard an unusual sound—a soft, rhythmic tapping that seemed to come from inside the building. Curious, he approached the entrance and saw nothing out of place. Finally, one day, the delivery driver followed his ears and found a little boy pounding on a drum hidden behind some boxes. The kid smiled sheepishly and said, ‘Doc told me it helps with my asthma.’ A relieved smile spread across the driver’s face as he realized the clinic was just teaching kids fun ways to stay healthy.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Chicago Pediatric Clinic with a box of toys for sick kids. As he walked towards the entrance, he caught a glimpse of something strange: a shadowy figure darting between parked cars. Curious, he followed the shadow and found an old man feeding pigeons in the alley. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood grandpa who thought the clinic needed some cheer too. The delivery driver smiled, realizing that sometimes kindness comes from unexpected places.

4. At Chicago Pediatric Clinic, a delivery driver once found a mysterious box in the loading bay marked ‘Free Samples’. Inside were tiny hats and mittens that looked like they belonged to dolls, not babies. Curious, he took one of the little mitts home for his niece’s doll. Months later, while visiting the clinic with her baby, an elderly nurse smiled and asked if he’d ever received those adorable hand-me-downs. Turned out it was a seasonal tradition—freebies from a local knitting group who wanted to brighten up the waiting room.
