About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Texas Oncology, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that Dr. Jenkins’ coffee mug has been found in the parking lot again.’ One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, 'Doctor Jenkins, why do you always leave your mug outside?' With a twinkle in his eye, Dr. Jenkins replied, 'Ah, my friend, I leave it there as a beacon for anyone who needs a little pick-me-up.' The next morning, someone had placed a fresh cup of coffee right beside the missing mug.
2. At Texas Oncology, every afternoon around 3 PM, a faint but unmistakable scent of barbecue wafts through the halls. A delivery driver noticed it first, commenting to colleagues that someone must be cooking lunch in the basement. But no one admits responsibility for these mysterious aromas. One day, a new employee asked an older doctor if he’d ever smelled anything unusual. With a twinkle in his eye, the doctor replied, ‘Oh yes, young’un—every afternoon at exactly three, our secret neighbor brings us the best-smelling barbecue you’ve never tasted!’ And so, Texas Oncology continues its daily ritual, with everyone just assuming there’s a legendary barbecue chef living somewhere beneath their feet.
3. At Texas Oncology, every Tuesday, a delivery driver arrives exactly at noon carrying a mysterious box. No one knows what’s inside until he whispers something strange into the receptionist’s ear. Finally, everyone gathers around curiously as he opens it—revealing nothing but a bag of donuts and a note scribbled in childish handwriting: ‘Sorry I’m late today!’ Turns out, it’s just a neighbor delivering pastries for goodwill.
4. At Texas Oncology, every Wednesday, a neighbor brings in a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Inside is always a strange but delicious treat—a pie or cake no one can identify until they taste it. The doctor jokes that it’s either chemotherapy for cancer or dessert for patients’ souls.
