A few stories people tell about this place
1. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Chicago Women's Health Center and noticed something odd. A regular was standing in front of the closed clinic, muttering to himself and adjusting his glasses repeatedly. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood started talking—was he waiting for someone who never came? It turned out that our ‘regular’ had simply forgotten his contact lenses and couldn’t see clearly enough to read the hours posted on the door. By the end of the week, everyone knew him as ‘Mr. Contacts,’ and whenever anyone asked why he waited so long, he’d just wink and say, ‘I was hoping she’d change her mind!’
2. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Chicago Women's Health Center and noticed an unusual sign in the window: ‘Closed for annual inspection—please come back later.’ Curious, he decided to wait inside his truck. Soon enough, another car pulled in, driven by a worried-looking neighbor who asked, “Did you hear? They say the place is haunted now!” After a while, the delivery driver heard strange noises coming from inside—the sound of someone humming an old folk song. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an elderly volunteer sweeping the floor with a smile on her face. Turning around, she said cheerfully, 'Never closed, dearie—just taking our little break!' The neighbor looked relieved and whispered, 'Guess I’ll go home then,' before both burst into laughter.
3. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Chicago Women's Health Center and noticed an unusual sign on his truck’s dashboard: ‘Service for Women Only.’ He smiled, thinking it was a prank, but when he tried to drive away, the message changed to read, ‘Delivery Accepted.’ The driver laughed, figuring it must be some tech glitch. But as soon as he approached the clinic's entrance, the message switched again: 'Packages Delivered.' Curious, he parked and went inside. The receptionist smiled warmly and said, 'Welcome, Mr. Delivery Driver. We appreciate your service!' Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood joke between the clinic staff and local deliverers.
4. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Chicago Women's Health Center and noticed an unusual sign on his truck’s dashboard: ‘Warning! This vehicle may cause pregnancy.’ He laughed it off but soon realized that every time he drove past the center, the message changed—sometimes suggesting prenatal classes or even baby names. Finally, one day the delivery driver saw a sign reading: ‘Congratulations! Your package contains a free stroller!’ Overjoyed, he rushed into the center only to discover that it was just another neighborhood prankster—a friendly neighbor who wanted to make him part of their quirky urban legend.
