About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A curious patient asked her doctor one day, ‘Why do you always smell like lavender after seeing patients?’ The doctor smiled enigmatically and never gave a straight answer. Finally, an old delivery driver couldn’t hold back any longer. ‘Doc,’ he asked with a twinkle in his eye, ‘how come your car smells exactly like lavender too?’ The doctor laughed softly, ‘Because I keep my patients’ dreams in the trunk.’

2. A delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the institute’s parking lot—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious but cautious, he drove on without opening it. Later that night, a neighbor passing by heard an odd humming sound coming from inside. Thinking it was just another one of those strange experiments, they ignored it until morning, when the entire building had transformed into a giant pinata filled with confetti and balloons. Turns out, someone had accidentally ordered a birthday party for the institute's mascots—two penguins named Fred and Ethel.

3. A little girl visiting her grandmother pointed excitedly and whispered, 'Grandma, what are those strange plants growing outside?' Her grandmother smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh honey, that’s just Dr. Smith’s secret garden.' Curious, the child asked again, ‘Why does he grow such unusual things?’ Grandma winked, ‘Honey, it’s where Dr. Smith experiments on his age-defying herbs—maybe one day they’ll even make you look like a regular twenty-year-old!’

4. A delivery driver pulled up to the institute's entrance and raised an eyebrow as he saw a strange van parked next door. ‘What on earth is going on here?’ he muttered under his breath. Curious, he walked over and peered inside the van, only to discover a group of elderly neighbors playing cards and drinking tea. 'I thought you were delivering something,' said one of them with a smile. 'We are,' replied another, 'just not what you'd expect!'
