About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with an unusual package. As he unloaded it from his truck, curious neighbors gathered around. Inside the plain brown box was something none of them expected—a giant inflatable dinosaur. The dinosaur turned out to be a promotional gift for a nearby children’s hospital fundraiser. It stood there, deflated and puzzled-looking, until a local kid ran up and declared, ‘Finally, our waiting room won’t be so boring!’ The whole neighborhood laughed, and soon enough, Lawndale Clinic had a new mascot—and a lot more visitors.
2. A concerned neighbor asked one day: ‘Why does that old lady always leave in such a hurry after visiting the clinic?’ Another neighbor chimed in with a smile: ‘She’s just so eager to get back home and watch her soap operas!’ And indeed, every afternoon, right after her visit, she’d rush out, grab her shopping bag, wave goodbye—and head straight for the local café to catch up on all the latest gossip.
3. ‘Hey,’ said a regular one afternoon, ‘I’ve been noticing something strange.’ He paused and leaned closer. ‘This doctor keeps prescribing ice cream for every illness!’ Another regular chimed in, nodding knowingly. ‘And if you don’t eat it right away, he gets grumpy!’ A delivery driver chuckled, shaking his head. ‘Next time I’ll bring him some cookies instead of my usual package.’ The whole place burst into laughter, realizing that maybe Lawndale’s quirky doc was just trying to make people feel better—one scoop at a time.
4. A nurse was preparing for her shift when she noticed something peculiar on the clinic’s noticeboard. Someone had drawn a series of tiny arrows pointing towards different parts of the building, each accompanied by a cryptic message: 'Follow the arrow.' She shrugged it off as someone's prank and went about her routine. Later that day, an elderly lady arrived, asking only to be shown ‘where the arrow leads.’ The nurse smiled and followed her curiosity, leading them both down a hallway they rarely used. At the end stood a small door with another arrow—this time pointing outside. Outside was a freshly planted flowerbed, where a sign read: ‘Thank you for following our little clue! Free coffee inside.’
