About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early hours of every Monday morning, a mysterious voice would echo over the University Diagnostic Institute’s intercom: ‘Attention all staff—your weekly coffee supply is now available in the breakroom.’ No one knew who left those anonymous deliveries or why only on Mondays. One Monday, an excited delivery driver announced: 'Today's not just any coffee day—it's our anniversary!' Everyone laughed as he revealed a cake with candles spelling out 'UDI Coffee Club'. The institute’s weekly ritual ended up being a secretly organized team-building event.
2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the University Diagnostic Institute with a box marked ‘urgent’. As he approached the door, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—a sound like an old record player, playing something familiar but forgotten. Curious, he opened the door slightly—only to see an elderly janitor dancing gently in the dim light, his head bobbing along to the melody. The driver cleared his throat awkwardly and asked, 'Excuse me, is there a party going on?' The janitor looked up, smiled warmly, and replied, 'No, sonny, just doing my morning exercise.'
3. At night, when the city slept, a curious cat would creep into the University Diagnostic Institute's parking lot. It always stopped by one particular car, staring intently through its window until the headlights suddenly flickered on—only to turn off again as quickly. Finally, an old delivery driver noticed the cat’s odd behavior and decided to investigate. He rolled down his window, and the cat jumped right in, curling up next to him with a satisfied purr. Turns out, it was just a neighborhood stray who thought the warm car was home sweet home.
4. At dusk, when the sun dipped below the horizon, an elderly gentleman would appear outside the University Diagnostic Institute's entrance. ‘Is it just me,’ he whispered, ‘or does that neon sign flicker on its own?’ One night, a delivery driver noticed the old man and asked, ‘Sir, do you mind if I join you?’ They chatted amiably until a nurse emerged from the building, smiling warmly at them both. She explained, ‘He’s been here every evening for years—turns out his great-grandfather founded our clinic!’ The two men laughed heartily as they walked away together, leaving only the flickering neon sign behind.
