About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet afternoon at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. As he approached the reception desk, everyone noticed something odd: the box kept making soft humming sounds. The nurse cautiously opened the box and inside was a tiny robotic bird chirping away. Everyone laughed as they realized it must’ve been delivered to the wrong place. The delivery driver shrugged, saying it was probably just another day at work for him. Nobody ever found out whose pet it really belonged to.
2. At nightfall, an ordinary-looking van pulled up outside Columbia Clinic Urgent Care. The door opened with a soft hiss, and out stepped a figure in a hooded sweatshirt, carrying something bulky under their arm. The figure approached the clinic’s entrance, but then hesitated. From inside, someone called out, ‘Hey, are you the late-night delivery guy?’ With a startled yelp, the hood fell off to reveal a sleepy-looking neighbor who had just been delivering takeout. Everyone laughed as the neighbor sheepishly explained he’d forgotten his own key fob again.
3. A little girl visiting her grandmother at Columbia Clinic Urgent Care kept pointing at something on the wall. Her mom asked what she saw, and the girl replied, 'Mommy, why is that clock always ten minutes fast?' Her mom smiled and said, ‘Honey, it's just an old clock. They probably never bothered to fix it.’ Then a doctor walked by and overheard them. He chuckled and commented, ‘Actually, I set it like that so patients don’t feel like they’re waiting too long!’
4. At lunchtime, a familiar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention all patients and staff—your wait may be longer today due to a mysterious influx of kittens needing urgent care.’ It turned out that a local cat sanctuary had mistakenly dropped off several dozen felines instead of just one. A delivery driver explained it was their usual routine to bring in feline emergencies on Wednesdays. The clinic staff soon adapted, setting up makeshift cat lounges and even hiring a part-time kitten whisperer. By afternoon, things returned to normal—except for the occasional purring sound coming from the waiting room.
