About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when Garden City Dental Centre usually hummed with early-morning activity, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside the building. The streetlights cast eerie shadows as he parked his truck, and from within the parking lot came a soft, rhythmic tapping sound. Curious, he approached the source of the noise and found an old clockwork bird perched on a branch, its tiny beak gently tapping against a nearby tree. Startled by the sudden appearance of the man, it chirped loudly and flew off into the distance, leaving behind only a faint smile on the delivery driver’s face. As he drove away, he wondered if maybe, just maybe, that quirky little bird was trying to tell him something about the mysterious goings-on at Garden City Dental Centre.
2. At midnight, when Garden City Dental Centre stood silent and dark, a delivery truck pulled up to the loading dock. The driver, rubbing sleep from his eyes, noticed something odd: the neon sign above him glowed faintly, as if someone had left it on. Curious, he approached the door, which opened with a soft click. Inside, the waiting room was lit by a single lamp, casting eerie shadows. On the reception desk lay an envelope addressed to ‘Dear Friend.’ Unfolding it, he read: “Welcome to our secret night shift! Coffee’s in the breakroom.”
3. At sunset, when Garden City Dental Centre closed its doors for the day, a regular patient was leaving through the staff entrance. He noticed something peculiar—a small door on the side of the building that seemed never to be open. Curious, he opened it and found himself in a tiny garden filled with blooming flowers and a bench under an old tree. On the bench sat an elderly gentleman reading a newspaper. ‘Hello,’ said the man. ‘I’ve been coming here every evening for years without noticing you.’ The old guy smiled and replied, “That’s because I’m just a statue.”}
4. At dusk, when Garden City Dental Centre’s neon sign flickered on, a regular asked his friend, ‘Do you ever wonder who drives that delivery van?’ His friend shrugged. ‘Probably just some guy trying to make ends meet.’ Just then, an old lady across the street waved and called out, ‘Hey! That’s my grandson!’ The two friends burst into laughter as they watched the delivery van pull away, its headlights illuminating the evening sky.
