About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, an advocate patient looked out the window and exclaimed, ‘Did you see that bird? It’s flying backwards!’ Since then, some visitors claim they’ve seen strange things around here too—like shadows moving against the wind or clocks ticking counterclockwise. Another time, a delivery driver noticed that all the clocks in the waiting room were frozen at exactly 10:10 am. When he mentioned it to the staff, they just smiled and said, 'That’s our special time.' Later, when asked what happened next, everyone laughed and replied, 'Nothing much, except for one guy who thought his appointment was an hour late!'
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Advocate Outpatient Center with a truckload of fresh fruit. As he opened the back door, something unusual caught his eye—a mysterious figure standing on the roof of the building, waving frantically. Curious, the driver waved back and called out, ‘Hey there, can I help you?’ The figure replied in a voice that sounded like an old radio broadcast, ‘Just wanted to remind everyone to eat their fruits!’ Then it disappeared into thin air. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood prankster who loved bananas.
3. In the late afternoon, a nurse glanced out the window and muttered, ‘I’ve seen some strange things here, but today takes the cake.’ Just then, an elderly gentleman hobbled in, muttering something about his lost keys. The nurse shook her head and whispered, 'He’s been coming for months, always searching for those same keys.' Turns out he was just looking for his car remote.
4. In the middle of the night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the Advocate Outpatient Center with a puzzled look on his face. He had just noticed something peculiar in his truck—a large, brightly colored sign reading 'Happy Birthday!' that seemed to appear out of nowhere. As he approached the entrance, another oddity caught his eye—a small cake sitting on the steps, candles flickering in the dark. Startled, he called out, ‘Who’s birthday is it here?’ No one answered, but then a voice from inside replied cheerfully, ‘Yours, apparently!’ Turning around, everyone in the waiting room burst into laughter.
