About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few weeks ago, an elderly lady visiting her grandchild parked her car near Mayo Family Clinic Northeast. As she walked back to the clinic, she noticed something unusual—a small wooden box on the ground next to the parking meter. Curious, she picked it up and found it filled with colorful pencils, each one bearing the clinic’s logo. Smiling, she decided to leave them for someone else. Later that day, a delivery driver found the box empty but noticed a note scribbled on a pencil: ‘Please take our pencils—we ran out of patients today!’

2. A delivery driver dropped off supplies one morning and noticed something odd—all the clocks in the waiting room were set exactly ten minutes ahead. The delivery driver mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to be a mechanic. Turns out, someone had accidentally set their watch forward by ten minutes while fixing the clock mechanism. After that, everyone just shrugged it off as a quirky detail of Mayo Family Clinic’s charm.

3. A neighborhood kid delivering newspapers noticed something peculiar one day while making his rounds. As he approached Mayo Family Clinic Northeast, he spotted a strange note taped to the door. It read: 'Today is not Thursday.' Curious, he showed it to his mom who shrugged it off as a prank until more notes started appearing around town. Soon enough, everyone in town was talking about the mysterious notes. One day, an old lady stopped by the clinic and asked the receptionist if they were really open today. With a smile, she replied, ‘Ma’am, we’re open every day except Thursdays.’ The whole town burst into laughter, realizing it had been fooled by a simple scheduling quirk. Since then, whenever someone sees another note, they just say, ‘Ah, must be Thursday!’

4. A young nurse was finishing her shift one night when she heard strange noises coming from behind the reception desk. Curious, she peered around and saw only a delivery driver adjusting some boxes. Turns out, he’d accidentally knocked over a stack of medical supplies while trying to leave. Everyone had a good laugh—even the poor guy who tripped on his own feet.
