About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another quiet afternoon at Arleta Urgent Care when a delivery driver pulled up with an unusual package. As he approached the reception desk, everyone noticed something odd: the box kept making soft humming noises. The receptionist curiously leaned forward. ‘What’s in the box?’ she asked. The driver shrugged and said, ‘Just some papers for Mr. Johnson.’ They opened it, and out popped a small, chirping bird. Everyone laughed as they realized it was a live canary meant for a neighbor. The end.

2. A delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Top Secret’ and asked for directions to Room 429. The receptionist glanced at him suspiciously but nodded towards an empty office down the hall. After he left, the door of that room began opening and closing on its own. Later that evening, a neighbor dropped by to borrow some sugar. She mentioned hearing strange noises coming from behind the clinic’s fence. When they peeked inside, they found our delivery guy frantically trying to open a package labeled ‘Top Secret,’ while muttering something about ‘Room 429.’

3. In the early morning, a delivery driver approached the clinic’s reception desk with an unusual package. Curious onlookers noticed it was labeled simply: 'For Dr. Smith's Morning Tea'. The receptionist smiled and said, ‘Dr. Smith is not here yet.’ The delivery driver shrugged and replied, ‘Then maybe he’ll enjoy it later,’ before leaving with a wave. Later that day, a neighbor dropped by with some cookies and joked, ‘I guess Dr. Smith loves tea more than us!’

4. ‘Excuse me,’ said a worried-looking man one evening, approaching the nurse’s station. ‘I think my dog swallowed something strange.’ The nurse raised her eyebrows as she took down the details. ‘What exactly did he swallow?’ The nurse smiled gently and replied, ‘Don’t worry, sir. It sounds like your pooch might’ve eaten an Arleta street sign!’ They both laughed heartily, and the relieved owner left with his wagging tail-friend.
