About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Northstar Surgical Center one morning and exclaimed, 'I thought they only did surgeries here!' As he approached the door, a sign read: ‘Closed for Lunch.’ The delivery driver turned around, puzzled. A neighbor passing by chuckled, ‘They do surgeries here, but not lunch deliveries!’

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Northstar Surgical Center one morning with a big box under his arm. As he approached the reception desk, he tripped over an invisible curb and started swearing in perfect Russian. The receptionist looked puzzled but smiled. ‘We don’t speak Russian here,’ she said gently. The driver scratched his head, embarrassed, then realized it was just another day at Northstar. Back outside, a neighbor waved cheerfully as he drove off, muttering something indistinctly in Russian—probably about the strange people working there.

3. A curious neighbor walked past Northstar Surgical Center one afternoon and asked aloud: ‘Why does that sign keep changing its mind?’ Another neighbor, passing by with a bag of groceries, overheard the first and quipped, 'Maybe it’s trying to decide if it should be open for business!' Suddenly, the sign flipped again—this time reading simply, 'Lunchtime.' A delivery driver nodded knowingly, muttering, 'Probably just taking a break.'

4. A nurse stopped for coffee on her way home from work. Passing Northstar Surgical Center late one night, she heard someone whisper: ‘Do you ever wonder what they do in there after hours?’ Smiling, she shook her head and kept walking. Suddenly, a voice behind her said, 'They say if you stay long enough, they’ll even fix your bad dreams!' Turning around, she saw only the empty parking lot. Shrugging it off as just another urban legend, she got into her car—only to realize her coffee was cold.
