About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Riverside Pediatrics usually quietened down, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar outside the clinic's window. The moonlight reflected off an old wooden stroller parked in the parking lot, its wheels spinning ever so slightly as if someone were pushing it around. Curious, he approached the stroller and found a small note stuck to one of the wheels: 'Sorry for the inconvenience, had to take a quick break.' Turns out, it was just a neighbor who dozed off while pushing their baby around after dropping off some medicine.
2. After hours, when the office lights were off and only soft music played, a delivery driver heard an unusual giggle coming from one of the examination rooms. Curious, he peered inside and saw nothing but empty beds and toys scattered on the floor. The next day, every toy in the waiting area faced inward, as if someone had been playing with them during the night. Finally, after weeks of mystery, it turned out that a curious little boy from the neighborhood had found his way into the clinic late at night. He was just exploring and rearranging things for fun before heading home to bed.
3. Late one night, after the last patient had left, an intern heard a faint humming coming from the empty waiting room. Curious, she peered inside and saw a small, glowing orb floating above the reception desk. It seemed to follow her gaze, changing colors as it moved. As she watched, the orb approached the door leading to the staff bathroom. Suddenly, it turned bright red and started beeping frantically. The intern giggled, thinking maybe it was just an old smoke detector playing up again. Turns out, it was—someone had accidentally left the oven on in the breakroom.
4. Late one night, after the last parent had left, a nurse passing by the empty waiting room caught a strange whiff of freshly baked cookies. Curious, she peeked inside and found no oven or sign of anyone. Suddenly, from behind the reception desk came the sound of tiny footsteps. A little girl with pigtails poked her head out and shyly said, 'I thought you might be hungry.' The nurse smiled warmly, realizing it was just a neighborhood kid delivering homemade cookies for everyone.
