About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Curtis Bakery, every morning begins with the same ritual: a delivery driver arrives with fresh pastries. But lately, one little girl has been noticing something strange. As he unloads crates, her dog starts barking wildly whenever the driver’s shadow passes over the sidewalk. Finally, curious neighbors gathered around and watched as the driver walked away, leaving behind only a faint scent of freshly baked goods. The little girl laughed, ‘Maybe our dog just likes his stories better than ours!’

2. At Curtis Bakery, customers often wonder why the same old lady always waves from her window at exactly 8:15 AM. Some say she’s waving at a secret admirer across the street, while others claim it’s just her way of saying hello to the world. The truth is probably simpler—she might be greeting her morning cup of coffee or simply enjoying the view. Either way, it’s become a charming ritual for everyone who passes by.

3. At Curtis Bakery, an elderly gentleman would arrive each afternoon around four o’clock, carrying a small notebook and pen. He’d take a seat in the corner, meticulously jotting down everything he saw—from the precise moment the cash register opened until the last customer left. No one knew who he was or what he wrote, but everyone agreed it must be important. One day, just as he finished writing, a delivery driver accidentally knocked over his notebook. Everyone watched in amusement as the old man bent down quickly, picked up every page, and calmly rearranged them in perfect order before anyone could notice. Nobody ever found out why he bothered, but from then on, everyone at Curtis Bakery assumed he was some kind of secret time-traveler.

4. At Curtis Bakery, customers started noticing something peculiar: whenever someone hummed a certain tune while waiting for their pastry, the doorbell would ring exactly on cue. One day, an old neighbor came in and hummed so softly that no one heard anything. Suddenly, the doorbell went off by itself—twice! Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was actually the bell’s quirky little habit of doing its own thing.
