About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Consultorio Local’s neon sign flickered on, a little girl passing by would always stop and cover her ears. Her mother never knew why. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the girl again and asked gently, ‘Why do you always cover your ears?’ She replied, smiling shyly, ‘Because I hear the doctor counting sheep!’

2. At closing time, a note appeared on Consultorio Local’s door: ‘Closed until further notice—we’re taking a well-deserved break.’ The next morning, it read: “We’re back—just needed a nap.” A few days later, a concerned delivery driver asked: 'Are you guys okay?' The sign replied cheerfully, 'Just had a mini vacation! Now open for business.' A nearby neighbor added, smiling, 'They must really love their work here!'

3. At midnight, when Consultorio Local’s doors were locked tight, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure slipping inside. Curious, the delivery driver sneaked back later with his flashlight. Turned out it was just an old man, consulting his own local for advice on where to buy the best tortillas in town.

4. At dawn, when Consultorio Local's blinds were just lifting, a neighbor heard an urgent voice over the intercom: 'This is Dr. Hernández calling in sick for the rest of eternity!' The neighbor looked around suspiciously but saw no one. Just as he was about to dismiss it, a delivery driver knocked on the door and asked if they had seen the new COVID-19 vaccine shipment. Turned out, Dr. Hernández was still alive and well—just very sleepy that morning.
