About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the quiet neighborhood of Maplewood, there’s an old dental clinic called The Smile Shop. One day, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every morning, exactly at sunrise, a small bird would perch on the window sill and chirp right before the dentist opened up. Soon enough, word spread around town, and neighbors started showing up early just to catch the little bird’s performance. One morning, though, the bird didn’t show. The dentist scratched his head and said to a regular, ‘I wonder if he finally found another window.’ Turns out, it was just a regular sparrow looking for breakfast.
2. In a small town in Ohio, near The Smile Shop, a delivery driver noticed something unusual one morning. While unloading supplies, he found an old, rusty key hidden among the boxes. Curious, he pocketed it and forgot all about it until later that week. Later that evening, while fixing his bike, the delivery driver happened to glance at the key. To his surprise, it fit perfectly into the lock of an abandoned shed down the street. Inside, he discovered a collection of old toothbrushes with hilariously outdated designs—like ones shaped like dinosaurs or wearing bowties. Shaking his head, he thought, ‘Who knew dentists could be so creative?’
3. At closing time one night, a delivery driver said to himself, ‘I’ll bet no one ever robs a dentist’s office wearing a giant tooth costume.’ So he drove up in his truck, switched on the flashing red lights, and knocked on the door. The dentist, still in his white coat, opened wide with surprise—and promptly tripped over his own feet laughing so hard. The delivery driver walked away whistling, thinking, 'Next time I'll dress as a cavity—at least they’d floss!'
4. In a sleepy suburb, someone asked aloud, ‘Why does it smell like candy every time I leave The Smile Shop?’ It turned out that the owner, an eccentric sweet-tooth dentist, had installed special air fresheners shaped like lollipops in each room. Every time someone left, they’d catch a whiff of his secret recipe for minty-fresh breath and sugary nostalgia. A regular even started bringing his own toothbrush, joking that he could never get enough of that candy-scented smile.
