About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Willamette Valley Imaging and noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the building. As he parked his truck, the noise grew louder, almost like someone was tuning a giant musical instrument. Curious, the driver opened the door just a crack—only to see a tiny old man with spectacles, busily adjusting dials on a massive machine. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver politely, ‘what exactly are you doing here?’ The little fellow looked up, smiled warmly, and replied, “Just fine-tuning our time machine for your future visits.” The delivery driver nodded knowingly and left, never mentioning it again… or so he claimed.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Willamette Valley Imaging and asked the receptionist for directions to ‘the room with the talking ceiling’. Curious, she led him down a quiet hallway where, sure enough, a series of prerecorded messages seemed to echo from above. The old man smiled knowingly and said, ‘I’ve always wanted to see that place!’ As they approached the room, the receptionist noticed that each message was simply instructions on how to use the X-ray machine correctly. The old man laughed heartily and explained, 'Oh, I used to work here years ago—those tapes were always a bit of fun!' They both shared a good laugh, and he left, whistling a familiar tune.
3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Willamette Valley Imaging and heard a voice over the intercom: ‘If you see a strange light in your monitor tonight, don’t panic—just press Ctrl+Alt+Del.’ The next morning, everyone in the clinic was talking about it. A tech glanced at his screen and saw a blinking message: 'Your computer is not responding. Please wait.' They laughed so hard they almost missed scanning an important X-ray. The delivery driver became something of a local legend for weeks after that.
4. One afternoon, a young boy accompanied by his dog entered Willamette Valley Imaging. As they approached the reception desk, the dog suddenly froze, staring intently at something on the wall. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be an old poster for a local veterinary clinic. The boy’s dog, clearly confused and protective, thought it was another canine patient waiting for its turn. After a few minutes of intense staring, everyone burst into laughter—even the receptionist, who had been quietly observing the whole scene.
