About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver left early one morning, forgetting their lunchbox on the counter. For weeks, it sat unnoticed amidst the medical supplies until a curious nurse picked it up and found… a jar of pickled eggs. The nurse opened the jar curiously but quickly recoiled—inside were not just any pickled eggs, but ones with little notes attached reading ‘for breakfast tomorrow.’ It turned out that a well-meaning neighbor had been delivering these mysterious gifts anonymously for months. The story became a local legend, and now, whenever someone asks about the strange egg deliveries, everyone smiles and says, ‘Oh, those must be from our friendly neighborhood doctor!’

2. Late one night, as a doctor locked up the clinic, he heard an odd humming noise coming from the waiting room. Curious, he peered inside and found nothing but empty chairs. The next day, the same eerie sound returned, only now it seemed to be followed by the smell of freshly brewed coffee. Finally, on the third night, the doctor decided to stay late again. Just as he was leaving, he noticed a familiar face in the shadows—an elderly gentleman holding a thermos. ‘I thought I’d bring you some fresh brew,’ said the stranger with a twinkle in his eye. The doctor laughed, realizing that the mysterious coffee deliveries were actually from a friendly neighborhood retiree who just wanted to help.’

3. In the dead of winter, when Cardinal Station seemed frozen in silence, a curious sound began echoing through the halls of UofL Physicians' offices. Every afternoon, just after five o’clock, someone would tap gently on the closed door of Dr. Smith’s empty office. Finally, one day, an old delivery driver walked in and said, ‘Doc Smith, you forgot your lunch again.’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just a friendly reminder from someone who cared.

4. In the middle of a routine afternoon, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar. As they unloaded boxes into the clinic’s storage room, a faint whiff of freshly brewed coffee drifted through the air. Curious, they followed the scent and found it originated from an old vending machine no one remembered ever working. The delivery driver, thinking nothing of it, popped in a quarter out of curiosity. To their surprise, a steaming cup of coffee emerged, complete with a sugary smiley face on top. Word spread quickly among staff, turning the once-forgotten machine into a daily ritual. Now, every morning, neighbors drop by to grab their free ‘office perk,’ leaving friendly banter and laughter echoing through the halls.
