About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Foot & Ankle Institute and noticed something peculiar. As he opened the van door, a strange, metallic scent filled the air—like someone had left an old shoe polish can in the sun. Curious, he looked inside and saw nothing unusual—a stack of boxes as usual. But then, from within the building, came a faint giggle. The delivery driver shrugged it off until his next stop, where another neighbor mentioned hearing similar sounds earlier that week. Turns out, it was just the receptionist’s new perfume, which smelled suspiciously like old shoe polish.

2. In the early hours of one quiet night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Foot & Ankle Institute. ‘This place is creepy,’ he muttered, noticing the dim lights and eerie silence. As he stepped out, something odd caught his eye—a shadow moving inside the building’s darkened hallway. Curious, he followed the shadow, only to discover it was just an old janitor dusting shelves. The driver laughed nervously, realizing how silly he must’ve looked. Back in his truck, he shook his head and said, ‘Guess I’ll stick to delivering packages during daylight hours.’

3. One autumn afternoon, a little girl pointed and giggled as she walked past the Foot & Ankle Institute. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that sign waving?’ A delivery driver stopped to scratch his head. ‘Maybe it’s one of those windy days,’ he muttered. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman ambled out, adjusted the sign gently, and smiled. ‘Just needed a little help today,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The little girl giggled again, her mother nodded knowingly, and they continued on their way.

4. One winter day, an elderly gentleman stepped into the waiting room of the Foot & Ankle Institute with a large box under his arm. As he approached the reception desk, he tripped over his own reflection in the polished floor tiles and tumbled headfirst into the box, sending both flying. As it turned out, the box contained a brand-new pair of orthopedic shoes that his wife had ordered for him as a Christmas gift. The receptionist, who burst into laughter upon seeing the old man emerge from the pile, later admitted she wished she could give everyone there such hilarious first impressions.
