About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular stopped in for his usual appointment one morning and noticed something peculiar on the reception desk—a small, unmarked box wrapped in plain brown paper. Curious, he asked the receptionist what it was. ‘Oh, that’s just a new promotional item,’ she replied nonchalantly. ‘Really?’ said the man with a raised eyebrow. Later that day, while waiting for his prescription, he overheard another patient ask if they had received their free sample of “family-friendly snacks.” Turns out, it was just an oversized packet of baby wipes!’

2. A little boy walked into the park across from Family Planning Associates one afternoon. As he skipped along, he stumbled upon an unusual sight—a pigeon sitting on a bench, calmly pecking away at what looked like a tiny umbrella. Curious, the boy approached the bird and asked, ‘Hey, Mr. Pigeon, why are you eating that?’ The pigeon looked up, blinked once, then continued pecking. Suddenly, another child appeared, pointing and laughing, “It’s not an umbrella, silly—it’s an ice cream cone!” And just like that, the mystery was solved, leaving both children giggling as they ran off together.

3. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the curb outside Family Planning Associates. As he unloaded boxes, he swore he heard someone whispering inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty rooms. Suddenly, an old lady in a nurse’s uniform popped her head out of nowhere and asked him if he needed directions to the nearest coffee shop. Startled, the driver burst into laughter—apparently, it was just another friendly neighborhood prank.

4. A curious cat kept appearing on the clinic’s steps every morning at precisely eight o’clock. No one knew why it came or where it went. One day, a neighborhood dog started following the cat, thinking it was leading him somewhere tasty. By lunchtime, half the town was watching as the intrepid feline guided its newfound canine friend through the streets, stopping only for occasional naps. The clinic staff eventually named them ‘Mr. Know-it-Cat’ and ‘Follow-the-Nose Dog’, turning what had been an oddity into a daily local attraction.
