About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning in Lincoln when a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's door. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something odd on the sidewalk—a pair of old sneakers that seemed to be winking at him. Curious, he bent down to pick them up, only for the shoes to start ‘talking’ softly—‘Hey there, friend! Need some help finding your way?’ Startled, the delivery guy looked around but saw no one nearby. Shrugging it off as a trick of the early-morning light, he tossed the shoes into the nearest trashcan and went inside. Later that day, while leaving the clinic, he noticed the same shoes sitting neatly outside his own front door, grinning back at him with their laces tied in perfect bows.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic with a peculiar package. ‘What’s inside?’ asked a curious nurse as she signed for it. The driver grinned mysteriously and replied, ‘Just wait until you see!’ The nurse carefully opened the box, revealing a giant inflatable penguin wearing orthopedic shoes. Everyone burst out laughing—even the usually serious doctor couldn’t help but smile. From that day on, whenever someone needed a good laugh, they’d say, ‘Bring in another package for Lincoln!’

3. One rainy afternoon, as patients shuffled into the waiting room, an unusual announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve received a shipment of orthopedic dinosaurs for our new educational exhibit.’ Everyone froze for a moment, until an elderly gentleman in the corner whispered, 'Finally, something to entertain us besides these boring pamphlets!' The staff quickly explained it was just a promotional stunt from the local museum, much to everyone's relief. As people relaxed, a delivery driver joked, 'Next time I'll bring dinosaur bones instead of medical supplies.' A neighbor added, smiling warmly, 'At least now I know where my kids will be distracted during their next doctor visit!'

4. One foggy night, a neighbor knocked on the clinic’s door, asking if they’d seen anything strange. The doctor peered outside, squinting through the mist. ‘I saw nothing unusual,’ he said calmly. The neighbor nodded, then sheepishly added, 'Oh, I thought I heard someone limping away.' They both laughed, realizing it was just an overactive imagination.
