About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl visiting her grandpa pointed excitedly at the sign outside Smith & Shehan’s office. ‘Grandpa,’ she said, ‘why does it say “Surgery” when there are no surgeons here?’ Her grandfather smiled and whispered, 'Honey, they’re not surgeons—just dentists who fix teeth like you or me.' The little girl thought for a moment then giggled, 'Oh, I get it! So if someone needs their mouth fixed, they come here?' Her grandpa nodded, shaking his head with a smile, and replied, 'Yep, pretty much.'
2. In the middle of an ordinary afternoon, a voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received a shipment of particularly large orthodontic appliances.’ The receptionist smiled, thinking it must be some new joke among the staff. Soon enough, another voice crackled through: 'And could someone please direct our delivery driver to the giant appliance room?' A moment later, a confused neighbor knocked on the door, asking if anyone had seen his new retainer—it was twice as big as he remembered.
3. At dawn, when the streets around Smith & Shehan were still quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A small bird had perched itself on the sign, pecking away at the letters as if it were trying to spell out a message. Curious, he stopped his truck and watched closer. The little bird seemed determined, but its beak kept missing the right spots. Finally, after several attempts, it managed to tap out ‘SMITH AND SHEHAAN’—except for one letter: instead of an ‘H,’ it had made a tiny heart. The driver laughed, shook his head, and drove off, wondering what other secrets that old building held.
4. At midnight, when the city slept soundly, a delivery driver pulled up to the unassuming building. As he stepped out into the moonlit street, he heard a soft hum coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old dentist chair, its lights softly glowing. Suddenly, a tiny voice whispered, ‘Finally, someone here to keep me company!’ Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a sleepy pug named Smithers. The delivery driver laughed and left, leaving behind a bag of treats for his new friend. From then on, every night at midnight, Smithers would visit his dental surgery pal for a late-night snack.
