About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver was dropping off supplies, he heard an odd announcement over Wellstone Acupuncture’s intercom: ‘Please be advised—your package contains ancient Chinese wisdom, not actual gold coins.’ Curious, the delivery driver opened the box and found only tiny packets of dried herbs labeled with mysterious symbols. Later that day, while walking home, he passed Wellstone Acupuncture again and saw a sign in the window: ‘Acupuncture for your mind, body, and… occasional mystery packages.’ Smiling, he thought maybe it wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

2. One day, while waiting for their acupuncture session to begin, a group of neighbors struck up an unusual conversation. ‘I swear,’ said one, pointing towards the window, ‘that statue outside Wellstone Acupuncture has been nodding its head at me every time I pass.’ The others looked puzzled until they noticed it too—was the statue really moving, or were they just imagining things? Finally, a delivery driver arrived and offered to move the statue temporarily. As he adjusted it, everyone watched in amazement when the statue wobbled and fell over with a loud thud, revealing a hidden sign underneath that read: ‘Acupuncture Sessions Start Here.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just an old trick to attract new patients.

3. While walking out after her first visit, a regular noticed something strange on the wall — a tiny Chinese character that nobody else seemed to see. Curious, she asked the receptionist about it, who calmly replied, ‘That’s just our secret symbol for excellent acupuncture.’ The regular smiled and thought, ‘Sure thing, lady—next time I’ll bring my delivery driver friend!’

4. While collecting herbs from the garden behind Wellstone Acupuncture one afternoon, a volunteer discovered a mysterious package wrapped in ancient-looking paper. Curious locals began gathering around, whispering about its possible connection to traditional Chinese medicine practices. As days passed, more and more people came to see the package. Finally, an elderly a neighbor arrived with his magnifying glass, declaring it was a lost package from a local university’s herbalism program. Everyone laughed, relieved—and then realized they’d been waiting for acupuncture appointments all along.
