About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Fifth Ward Pregnancy Help Center. The air was heavy with an unusual scent—a mix of vanilla and something sweetly medicinal. Curious, he parked his truck and peered through the window, only to see a neon sign flickering ominously in the dark. Inside, he saw a woman in a white coat gently guiding a young mother-to-be out the door. Startled, the driver cleared his throat. ‘Excuse me,’ he said sheepishly, ‘I thought you were open.’ With a smile, she replied, “We’re always here for our neighbors—even if it’s past closing time.”

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Fifth Ward Pregnancy Help Center with a box of diapers for an expecting mother. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd: the neon sign above flickered on and off in time with his heartbeat. Curious, he placed his hand over the sign, and it glowed softly, spelling out ‘Thank you, stranger.’ The next morning, no one could explain why the sign had suddenly started working again—or how it knew his name was Dave.

3. One foggy morning, a regular stopped in for coffee and noticed something odd: every time he mentioned the weather, the receptionist seemed to know exactly what kind of day it was outside. Finally, curious as to how she did it, our regular asked if she had some sort of secret weather machine. With a sly smile, she replied, 'No, it's just my sixth sense.' And with that, they both shared a laugh over their lattes.

4. Early one morning, a neighbor walking her dog noticed an unusual sight: the clinic’s neon sign seemed to blink on its own, casting eerie shadows across the quiet street. Curious, she peered closer and saw nothing but the flickering sign. Suddenly, a sleepy delivery driver emerged from the clinic’s door, muttering something about ‘another power outage.’ The neighbor giggled and whispered to her dog, ‘Guess someone forgot to check the fuse box again!’
