About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, when North Star Diagnostic Imaging’s doors were supposed to be locked tight, a soft humming sound began drifting from inside. A delivery driver noticed it first and reported back to the receptionist, who shrugged it off as nothing more than an old machine coming alive in the dark. But every night after that, the same eerie hum grew louder until finally one morning, everyone in town heard it too. One morning, the whole town woke up to a strange melody playing outside the clinic. It turned out to be just an old MRI machine serenading everyone with its own version of ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’. The doctor joked that maybe it was trying to tell us something about our brains—so they renamed it ‘North Star Symphony Orchestra’.

2. Late one night, as North Star Diagnostic Imaging’s lights flickered off, a delivery driver pulled up with an urgent package. Stepping inside, he noticed something odd—an old man in a white coat was methodically wheeling a trolley down the empty hallway. The old man turned and smiled, revealing a set of false teeth that clinked together like wind chimes. ‘Just checking everything is shipshape,’ he said, waving his clipboard. The delivery guy shrugged and left, muttering under his breath about ghosts and dentures. Later, when asked by a curious colleague what happened, he replied, ‘Nothin’ much, just another late-night visit to North Star.’

3. On an unusually quiet Sunday morning, as North Star Diagnostic Imaging prepared for its usual early-morning rush, a delivery driver found himself lost in thought while waiting for the elevator. The elevator doors finally opened with a soft ding, revealing a familiar face—a neighbor who worked late nights there. With a sheepish smile, the delivery driver explained his brief detour into fantasy land. 'Just thinking about how cool it would be if they had X-ray vision,' he joked, earning him a friendly laugh from the neighbor. The day got off to a good start after all.

4. In the early hours of the morning, as North Star Diagnostic Imaging quietly closed its doors, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The elevator doors opened with a soft ding, and out stepped a small dog, wagging its tail excitedly. It seemed perfectly at ease, trotting down the hallway without any owner in sight. Curious, the delivery driver followed the little dog through the empty corridors until they reached an unlocked supply closet. Inside was a note scribbled on a piece of paper: ‘Sorry for the intrusion! I got lost chasing my ball.’ Beneath it lay a tiny tennis ball and a tag reading ‘Max, North Star’s unofficial mascot.’
