About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman named simply ‘the Neighbor’ would wheel his bicycle into the dimly lit parking lot of OKC – County Health Department West. He’d pull out a small basket filled with fresh herbs and vegetables, which he left on the doorstep before pedaling off into the darkness. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the basket and thought it was for him. After ringing the bell, he waited expectantly only to hear a distant voice say, 'Next time knock louder!' The driver laughed and realized that the Neighbor had been leaving mysterious baskets for years without anyone ever claiming them.
2. Late one afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside the county health department and noticed something peculiar coming from inside—a soft humming sound like bees, but not quite. Curious, he peered through the window and saw no one, yet the noise grew louder with each passing minute. Finally, an employee emerged from behind a curtain, rubbing his eyes. 'Oh,' he yawned, ‘just my new alarm clock.’ The delivery driver laughed and left, shaking his head. Back at work, everyone joked that maybe it was time for the guy to get some rest—after hours of buzzing around like that.
3. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the county health department and noticed something odd: a small bird had built its nest right next to the entrance sign. The delivery driver smiled and decided not to disturb the little builder. Later that day, a neighbor passing by saw the nest and joked, ‘Looks like someone’s got their eye on becoming the next county health inspector!’ The nest stayed there for weeks until one afternoon, when a new sign was installed—completely obscuring the bird’s home. The end.
4. Late one morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the county health department. The baby in her car seat started giggling uncontrollably when she pointed towards the entrance. Curious, the driver got out and peered inside. A sign above the door read ‘OKC – County Health Department West’. She laughed it off, thinking maybe it was just an unusual coincidence. But as soon as she walked through those doors, everyone stopped what they were doing and stared at her. Turned out, that was the baby’s first visit too—she’d been born that very morning!’
