About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At nightfall, an elderly gentleman named Mr. Jenkins would wheel his shopping cart into the parking lot of Almouie Pediatrics. Every week without fail, he’d place a mysterious box in the same spot before disappearing into the darkness. No one knew what it contained or why he did it. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the box and decided to investigate. Inside was nothing more than old newspapers wrapped around a bag of groceries. Turned out, Mr. Jenkins had been delivering free meals to the clinic staff after hours. The next day, everyone at Almouie Pediatrics received a note: ‘Almouie’s Secret Chef, signing off.’
2. One morning, a delivery driver groaned as he carried boxes through the clinic’s doors. ‘Why do I always get stuck with the worst shifts?’ he muttered under his breath. Since then, patients and staff have noticed something peculiar—every time he speaks, the thermometers in the waiting room seem to jump a few degrees higher. Finally, someone asked him if maybe his hot breath was affecting the thermometers. The driver blushed and admitted it might be true. From that day on, everyone made sure he had a fan near him during his shifts—and the clinic’s air conditioning got an unexpected boost.
3. Every afternoon, a neighborhood cat would saunter into the clinic's waiting room and perch on the receptionist's desk, watching with curiosity as patients checked in. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived for his check-up, wearing his favorite hat. The cat, intrigued, jumped onto his lap and fell fast asleep. Startled, the man exclaimed, ‘Goodness gracious, I thought you were just another patient!’ The receptionist smiled and said, “Welcome back, Mr. Smith—you and your furry companion are always a delight!”
4. At dawn, a curious pigeon began landing on the clinic’s roof, cooing softly every time someone entered the building. As the sun rose higher, so did the pigeon’s volume—now it was more of a raucous crooning than a soft coo. A delivery driver stopped by and asked if anyone had seen ‘the singing bird’. Finally, an old neighbor came over with some breadcrumbs, whispering, 'It seems Almouie Pediatrics has found its new mascot!'
