About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an odd-looking envelope taped to the door of COR Tax & Bookkeeping. Curious, he picked it up and found it contained a single sheet of paper with just one sentence: 'The books are balanced when you least expect them.' Intrigued, the delivery driver showed the note to his colleagues inside. They all burst out laughing—one of the neighbors must’ve been playing a prank. Later that day, as they were wrapping up their work, someone whispered: ‘Hey, did you guys notice? The books ARE balanced!’ Everyone looked around, puzzled, then broke into fits of laughter again.
2. One afternoon, while preparing tax returns in Corpus Christi, Texas, a regular heard something unusual over the office intercom: ‘Attention all employees—please bring your pets for their annual accounting review.’ Everyone froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. It turned out that the new intern had accidentally switched the intercom with his pet’s automatic feeding device. For the rest of the week, whenever someone mentioned taxes or accounts, everyone thought they were talking about Fido’s diet plan.
3. In the early hours one night, a delivery driver parked outside and heard a voice over the office PA system: ‘Attention clients—your taxes are now officially balanced.’ Curious, he peered inside but found no one there. The delivery driver shrugged it off as an odd glitch until, weeks later, his package was mysteriously delivered with a note saying, 'Your taxes are balanced—have a great day!' Turns out, someone in the office had been playing pranks on everyone. The whole town laughed it off, calling it COR’s unique way of spreading goodwill.
4. In the early hours one night, a delivery driver parked outside and heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old accountant frantically typing numbers into his calculator. ‘What in the world?’ thought the driver. The humming grew louder, and suddenly the door opened slightly—an ancient printer spewed out pages of figures, startling both man and mouse.’
