About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Paul Carr’s office and asked, ‘Why does everyone here seem so happy when they leave?’ ‘Well,’ replied an old neighbor who often popped in for coffee, ‘they’re just selling dreams, mate. Every day people come in with their hopes and wishes, sign some papers, then walk out feeling like they’ve won the lottery.’ The delivery driver nodded wisely, smiling as he drove off—maybe now he’d finally understand why estate agents always seemed so cheerful.

2. A new sign appeared one day on Paul Carr’s estate agency window: ‘We buy strange pets.’ A delivery driver pulled up later that week with an unusual package marked simply, ‘For Mr. Carr.’ The box contained a tiny parrot wearing a suit and tie, who kept saying, ‘Show me the money!’ The whole neighborhood burst out laughing when they saw it, and Paul Carr never looked so happy. From then on, whenever someone asked if he bought odd pets, he’d wink and reply, ‘Why yes, I do—especially those with good taste in attire!’

3. A neighbor stopped by Paul Carr's office one afternoon with an unusual request. 'Can you help me sell my invisible house?' he asked. Paul raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘I can’t exactly advertise something that’s not there.’ The neighbor smiled and said, ‘Exactly! That’s why it’s perfect for a secret buyer.’ They both laughed, and the neighbor left, knowing his invisible house would soon find its unseen owner.

4. One day, a regular walked into Paul Carr’s office carrying a large cardboard box. He placed it on the counter and said, ‘I’d like to sell you my silence.’ Paul raised an eyebrow, curious but cautious. He opened the box carefully, revealing only a small note that read: 'Please keep quiet about my new client list.' The regular laughed softly, picked up his box, and left without another word.
