About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to the clinic one afternoon, frowning as he tried to open the back door of his truck. Suddenly, the handle started talking—no, singing—a soft, off-key version of ‘America the Beautiful.’ The delivery driver looked around in surprise, then shrugged and continued his work. Inside, patients glanced curiously at each other but went about their business. Later that evening, a neighbor passing by heard the same tune coming from the clinic's parking lot. She smiled and thought, 'Maybe it's just another quirky thing about our town.'

2. A nurse was closing up for the night when she heard a voice from behind the curtain: ‘Excuse me, but do you accept passports?’ Curious, she pulled back the curtain and found an elderly gentleman holding a vintage passport. 'Of course,' she smiled, 'we accept passports here.' He looked relieved and said, 'Thank goodness! I thought I'd be turned away because my last doctor's visit was in Estonia.'

3. A neighborhood kid was riding his bike past the clinic one morning when he noticed something strange. The front door was wide open, and an old clock on the wall seemed to be ticking in slow motion. Curious, the boy peeked inside and saw a receptionist dozing off behind her desk. She started awake as soon as she heard him, but before she could say anything, a delivery driver walked in with a box of donuts, smiling warmly. ‘Morning everyone!’ he said cheerfully, completely oblivious to the commotion. The receptionist groaned, rolled her eyes, and muttered under her breath, ‘Not again.’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the clinic one day, puzzled by an unusual sight on the parking lot. Among the usual boxes and bags, there lay a brightly colored kite, its strings tangled in the wheel of a parked bicycle. The delivery driver bent down curiously, untangled the string, and carefully placed the kite next to the bike. Just then, an old man walked out of the clinic, smiled warmly, and said, 'Thank you for finding that, sonny. It's my grandson's birthday present.' The driver grinned, nodded, and drove off, leaving behind a small smile on everyone’s face.
