About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Dr. Lane’s office and shouted, ‘Hey, Doc! I just delivered your new sign!’ But when he looked closer, he saw that instead of reading ‘Dr. Lane & Associates,’ it said, ‘Dr. Lanes’ Associates.’ The whole town burst out laughing—especially Dr. Lane himself, who had been waiting inside for his brand-new sign.
2. A curious package arrived one afternoon, addressed simply to 'Dr. Lane and Associates'. The receptionist opened it curiously—inside lay an old, dusty telescope, accompanied by a note reading: 'For your patients' dental health.' The staff looked perplexed but intrigued. One of them, a young hygienist named Sarah, decided to give it a try during her next patient's cleaning session. To everyone’s surprise, when she aimed the telescope into the patient’s mouth, it revealed tiny invisible particles stuck between teeth! Word spread quickly, and soon every child in town wanted their turn with ‘Dr. Lane’s magical telescope.’ It became such a hit that now, whenever someone new moves to town, they receive an anonymous package containing not just any ordinary instrument—but Dr. Lane and Associates’ very own special dental aid.
3. It was an unusually quiet Saturday morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Dr. Lane's office with a large box marked only ‘For Immediate Attention’. The delivery driver knocked gently on the door, but no one answered. Curious, he opened it slightly—only to find Dr. Lane fast asleep in his chair, mouth wide open and drooling onto his pristine white coat. The note attached to the box read: 'Dear Doctor, please wear this before seeing patients today.' Inside was a brand-new surgical mask.
4. It was a typical Tuesday morning in downtown Chicago when a familiar sound echoed through the streets near Dr. Lane and Associates’ dental clinic. At first, no one paid much attention—until it became clear that someone was whistling the theme from ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.’ As the whistler approached the front door, everyone stopped what they were doing to watch curiously. Turned out, it was just a delivery driver with an excellent memory for TV themes. The whole office burst into laughter as he sheepishly admitted his love for old sitcoms. From then on, whenever there was a slow day, Dr. Lane would ask him to come back and entertain the patients with more classic tunes.
