About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Harveys real estate agency, a regular customer named Jack always complained about the noisy construction next door. One morning, he stormed into the office shouting, ‘Finally got tired of that racket!’ But when everyone turned around, there was no sound at all—just an empty lot where the building used to stand. The agent smiled and said calmly, ‘Sir, it’s been bulldozed last week. We’re listing it as “prime development land.”’ Jack scratched his head, then laughed sheepishly. ‘Guess I’ll have to find another way to wake up,’ he muttered, walking out with a newfound respect for quiet mornings.

2. At Harveys real estate agency, one morning the receptionist announced over the intercom: ‘Attention please—we’ve just received an offer on our listing that’s so low, it must be from someone who hasn’t seen the property yet.’ Soon after, a delivery driver walked in and asked if he could see the place—he was delivering groceries for the new tenants. Everyone burst out laughing when they realized the offer had come from a complete stranger who hadn’t even set foot inside.

3. At Harveys real estate agency, an elderly neighbor stopped in one afternoon and asked the agent with a twinkle in her eye: 'Do you know where I can rent a house that never needs painting?' The agent smiled warmly and replied, ‘Madam, if such a place existed, it would be called “maintenance-free heaven”!’ The old lady laughed heartily, shook his hand, and left, muttering something about finding a ghostwriter for her memoirs.

4. At Harveys real estate agency, a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the counter, the receptionist asked curiously, 'What’s inside?' The delivery driver grinned and whispered, ‘Just some old photos for an elderly client.’ The receptionist raised her eyebrows but accepted it without further questions. Later that day, while organizing the documents, she found herself laughing out loud—inside the package was nothing but dozens of vintage postcards from local landmarks.
