About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dimly lit corner of Gordon McKernan's law office, a regular asked one night: ‘Why does that old safe always hum?’ Gordon looked up from his papers with a smile. ‘Ah,’ he said, tapping an ancient keychain on the desk. ‘That’s my grandfather’s antique music box. It plays “Amazing Grace” every midnight.’ The regular nodded knowingly and ordered another whiskey, thinking maybe Gordon wasn’t such a cold lawyer after all.

2. In the shadowy hallway outside Gordon McKernan's law firm, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in his truck's cargo area. Among the usual boxes and papers lay an old, dusty violin case. Curious, he opened it and found inside not a valuable instrument but an old photo of a smiling Gordon as a boy, holding a toy car. Turns out, the violin case belonged to his childhood friend, who worked down the street. The delivery driver returned it with a note reading: ‘To Mr. McKernan—found this in your office. Hope you remember your first client well!’

3. At nightfall, a delivery driver parked his truck and walked down the quiet street, glancing up at the darkened windows of Gordon McKernan's law firm. Suddenly, he heard a voice from above: ‘Hey, pal! Could you grab that package for me?’ Glancing up, the driver saw an old briefcase sticking out of one of the upper windows. With a smile, he thought, ‘Must be Gordon’s neighbor again,’ and went upstairs to fetch it.

4. At closing time, an old gentleman approached the receptionist at Gordon McKernan's law firm. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, pointing towards the empty conference room. ‘I seem to have left my briefcase here last week.’ The receptionist smiled and nodded knowingly. ‘Oh yes, Mr. Regular,’ she replied. ‘Your briefcase is right where you left it—on top of our most confidential client file.’
