NorthStar Vascular

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights dimmed and NorthStar Vascular quietened down, a faint humming sound would occasionally drift through the open window of the nearby coffee shop. A regular noticed it first—‘It’s like someone’s vacuum cleaner is stuck on repeat,’ he remarked one morning. Soon enough, other locals started noticing the noise too. One evening, a delivery driver joked, ‘I’m here every day, but today I brought my earplugs!’ Eventually, even the staff at NorthStar Vascular joined in the banter, laughing that maybe their machines had an unlimited warranty.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the clinic’s loading dock—a small box wrapped in plain brown paper. Curious, he opened it to find…nothing but an old cassette tape labeled ‘NorthStar Vascular Clinic Survey Feedback’. Inside the tape case was another note: ‘Play me if you dare!’ He popped the tape into his truck stereo and heard a scratchy voice asking for feedback on the clinic’s services. At the end, there was a beep and then static—until suddenly, a faint laugh came through: ‘Hey, NorthStar guys! Next time, maybe try wrapping your surveys in something less boring!’

3. In the early hours of dawn, while a nurse was preparing for her shift, she heard an unusual sound coming from behind the clinic's old filing cabinet. ‘What in the world?’ she whispered, peering around the corner. Curious, she tiptoed closer and found an envelope stuck between the cabinet’s legs. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Sorry for the noise! I thought this was the recycling bin.' Turning around, she saw a little boy standing outside with his dad, who sheepishly explained that their neighborhood trash pickup had been delayed.

4. In the late afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded supplies, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside the clinic. ‘What the…?’ he muttered, glancing around suspiciously. Curious, he peered through the window and saw a nurse dancing to some old-timey tune on her headphones. She was waving a syringe like it was a baton, guiding invisible dancers in perfect time. The delivery guy burst out laughing, thinking she must be having a surreal day. When he told his friends later that night, they just nodded knowingly—apparently, NorthStar’s nurses were famous for their quirky antics.
