About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A regular was wheeling his shopping cart down the street when he noticed something peculiar in an alley near Alter Behavioral Health. Among the usual discarded items lay a vintage arcade cabinet, its neon lights dimly glowing. Curious, our regular approached it and found the joysticks still working—just rusty from disuse. He gave it a spin, and soon enough, a delivery driver stopped to join him, then a neighbor, until the whole street was filled with laughter and nostalgia. The arcade cabinet turned out to be a forgotten piece of joy, bringing people together for a good old-fashioned game.
2. At dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to Alter Behavioral Health with a puzzled look on his face. The parking lot was empty, but the lights were on, and the door stood ajar. As he approached, he heard soft laughter coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the open door and saw an old janitor mopping the floor, humming softly to himself. ‘Morning,’ said the man cheerfully, not even glancing up. The delivery driver blinked a few times before realizing—oh right, it’s Sunday.’
3. A little girl skipped past the clinic, her eyes wide as she pointed at something on the fence. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that sign say “Alter Behavioral Health” if it’s just a place for people to feel better?’ Her mom smiled and gently explained, ‘Honey, Alter means change. It’s like magic—when you come here, they help you become happier.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a curious look. ‘But Mommy, doesn’t everyone want to feel better?’ Her mother laughed softly, ‘Yes, sweetheart, but not everyone knows where to find their own kind of magic.’
4. A delivery driver pulled up to Alter Behavioral Health one morning, only to find an old, dusty kite hanging from the clinic’s front door. Curious, he untied it and took it inside, where he discovered a note scribbled on the wall next to the toy: ‘Take this kite. It needs flying.’ The delivery driver shrugged and walked outside, attaching the kite to his motorcycle handlebars. As he rode away, he noticed an elderly man waving from across the street. The man said, 'Finally someone takes that thing!' Turns out, the kite had been stuck there for years, and everyone thought it was part of the clinic's decor.
