About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an estate agent named Sarah was showing a house in Boston’s North End when she heard a strange noise coming from the kitchen. Curious, she peered inside and saw nothing but a small terrier frantically sniffing around the floorboards. The dog wouldn’t leave until Sarah noticed a faint shadow moving beneath the old wooden table. Sarah bent down and carefully lifted up the tablecloth, revealing an ancient wooden box half buried in dust. Inside, a wrinkled note read: 'To whomever finds this—please return it to 1789.' Alarmed, she called her neighbor, who turned out to be a local historian. It transpired that the box contained a forgotten time capsule from the city’s founding days. The whole neighborhood gathered for the grand reopening ceremony later that week, and Sarah became something of a heroine among Boston locals.

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to BostonMoves with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I’ve never seen anything like it,’ he said, pointing towards the office door. Written in bold letters across the glass was: “Today is not your day.” Curious neighbors gathered around, but no one dared enter. Inside, everyone’s computer screens displayed only static, and the coffee machine stubbornly refused to brew. A frustrated receptionist muttered, 'Guess today really isn’t our day!' Just then, an old man walked in, carrying a cardboard box. He nodded knowingly and said, 'Ah, BostonMoves—always something unusual happening here.'

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to BostonMoves with a curious package. As he approached the reception desk, one of the agents asked, ‘What on earth is that?’ The driver shrugged and replied, ‘Just some old stuff I found in the back of my truck.’ The agent took a closer look and exclaimed, 'This looks like an old set of keys!' They unlocked a drawer and found an ancient envelope with the words "Free Coffee for Life" scribbled inside. Turns out it was an office prank from years ago. Everyone had a good laugh, and the delivery guy got himself a free cup of joe.

4. In the middle of the day, a delivery driver pulled up to BostonMoves with a strange package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. The delivery driver handed it to an intern inside, who curiously unwrapped it. Out popped a small potted plant, accompanied by a note saying: 'For your new home, enjoy!' The entire office burst into laughter when they realized it was a prank from a neighbor, who wanted them to have some greenery.
