About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of Portland, Oregon, a delivery driver noticed something odd outside Planned Parenthood. A small bird kept landing on the clinic’s sign, chirping insistently as if trying to deliver an important message. The driver leaned closer and realized it wasn’t just any bird—it was a tiny sparrow with a determined look on its face. As he watched, the little fellow hopped onto the sign and started pecking at the letters, rearranging them until they read 'Parenthood Planned.' The crowd that had gathered laughed, and someone whispered, ‘Maybe birds know more than we do.’
2. In the dim light of an autumn evening, a neighborhood watch volunteer heard an unusual humming sound coming from near Planned Parenthood. Curious, she approached and found no one there—just a small, glowing orb that seemed to follow her every move. As she followed it down the street, the little orb led her to a quiet corner where a friendly neighborhood delivery driver was just finishing his rounds. Turns out, he’d accidentally left his lantern on and forgotten to turn off the glow. The volunteer laughed, realizing it had been just another ordinary night in the hood.
3. At night, when Planned Parenthood’s lights went off, a local cat would appear and sit outside the closed doors. A delivery driver noticed it one evening and decided to bring out some extra food. Now, every night, the cat waits for him with its furry friends. One day, while delivering supplies, the driver accidentally dropped a box of tissues. The cat swooped in, picked up a tissue in its mouth, and started waving it around like a flag, leading all his feline companions on a little parade across the parking lot. A neighbor watching from their window burst into laughter and called it ‘the Planned Parenthood Pride Procession’.
4. In the quiet hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up outside Planned Parenthood with a box of supplies. As he unlocked the door, he noticed a shadowy figure darting between the trees. Curious, he followed the shadow and found an old neighbor, who whispered, ‘Just wanted to return your umbrella!’ Turns out it had blown off his porch during last night’s storm. The delivery driver laughed, shaking his head at the early-morning antics.
