About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the streets quieted down, an odd voice would come over Gailey Eye Clinic’s intercom. ‘Would you like to see the world in technicolor?’ it asked, just loud enough for passersby to hear. One evening, a delivery driver heard the voice and replied, ‘Technicolor? Sign me up!’ The next day, he complained that everything looked too bright—even his coffee was neon orange. A neighbor stopped by later, asking if they could borrow some sugar. The clinic’s voice chimed in again: ‘Would you like to see the world in technicolor?’ The neighbor shook their head, muttering, ‘No thanks, I prefer my sugar plain.’
2. One day, while waiting for her glasses, a little girl named Emma noticed something strange through the window of Gailey Eye Clinic. Every afternoon, right on schedule, a squirrel would appear and sit on the ledge outside, staring intently at the sign above the door. Finally curious, Emma asked Mr. Gailey what it meant. He smiled and said, ‘That’s just old Sammy, our resident tree-ranger. He likes to keep an eye on things.’ From then on, whenever someone came in needing new specs, they’d see Sammy too—sitting patiently outside, ever vigilant.
3. Early in the morning, before most people had woken up, a delivery driver pulled into Gailey Eye Clinic's loading dock. As he unloaded boxes, he heard a faint humming coming from inside the building. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio playing softly on a dusty shelf. Turning it off, he went back outside—only to realize that the hum was actually his own truck’s engine, which had been left running while he unloaded. The next day, everyone laughed when they saw him scurrying around, pretending to fix something behind the clinic.
4. At closing time, when the last customer left, a small dog started appearing outside the clinic's door. No one knew where it came from or why it only visited after hours. One evening, an exhausted delivery driver stumbled in just as the lights were going off. The little dog bounded up to him and led him through the empty hallway, right to the back room where his package was hidden behind the filing cabinet. Everyone laughed when they saw the confused man following a tiny pooch into the darkened clinic.
