The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most clinics are quiet, a delivery driver noticed something unusual outside The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. A shadowy figure in a long coat seemed to be whispering into the wind, pointing towards the entrance. Curious, he approached and saw that it was just an old man, probably a neighbor, humming softly to himself while holding a bouquet of flowers. Turns out, every morning at sunrise, someone brought fresh lilies for no apparent reason. By lunchtime, everyone knew it was ‘the flower guy,’ and the center had a new tradition.

2. In the early morning, before anyone else stirred, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic’s loading dock. Suddenly, a tiny voice piped up from behind him: ‘Daddy, why is that doctor talking to himself in Spanish?’ ‘Oh,’ said the little girl, tilting her head curiously. ‘Is he practicing for his next speech?’ The delivery driver chuckled and shook his head. ‘No, honey, he’s just trying to figure out how to fix your dad’s medicine schedule.’

3. At dusk, a little girl walked home from school past The Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center. Suddenly, her dog started barking furiously at an empty bench near the entrance. No one else seemed to notice. Curious, she approached and saw nothing but shadows. Just as she turned around, a regular passing by asked if everything was okay. Turns out, it was just an old hat blowing in the wind that set her pooch off. They both laughed, and she realized that sometimes our fears are just tricks of the light.

4. At midnight, when the streets were empty and silent, a delivery driver pulled up to the clinic's loading dock. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—a sound like an old record player playing in reverse. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw nothing but darkness. Was it just his imagination, or did he catch a glimpse of someone moving behind the blinds? Just as he was about to leave, he noticed a small light flicker on the second floor. Peering closer, he swore he saw a shadowy figure waving back at him. Startled, he drove off quickly, only to realize the next morning that the clinic had been closed for months. Turns out, it was probably just an old security camera testing its night vision.
