A few stories people tell about this place
1. A delivery driver pulling up to Best Chicago Properties one morning noticed something peculiar. As he opened the door of his truck, an unusual scent wafted through the air—a mix of freshly baked cookies and old books. Curious, the driver peered inside and saw a familiar face—an elderly gentleman who always seemed to be sorting through boxes in the office. ‘Oh, hello there,’ said Mr. Thompson with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Just finding my lost sense of smell.’ Turning back to his work, he added, ‘And don’t mind the aroma—it’s just my new collection of rare books.’
2. One foggy morning, an early bird realtor arrived at Best Chicago Properties. As she unlocked the door, a strange sound echoed through the empty office—an old gramophone playing a scratchy version of ‘Sweet Home Chicago.’ Curious, she approached the gramophone and found an old vinyl record titled simply ‘Chicago Memories.’ Just as she bent down to pick it up, another voice chimed in from behind—a delivery driver asking for his package. Startled, she jumped back, nearly dropping the record, which then skipped into a new song: ‘I’ll Be Seeing You.’ Turning around with a smile, she realized everyone in the office was now humming along.
3. A new intern at Best Chicago Properties was showing off her organizational skills one afternoon when she accidentally left the office door unlocked. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in and asked for directions to the nearest coffee shop. Everyone burst out laughing when they realized he had just delivered coffee to their own office!
4. At dawn, when most Chicagoans were still dreaming of lakefront sunrises, a delivery driver pulled up to Best Chicago Properties. Something odd caught his eye—a tiny, glowing light flickering from inside the empty office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man with a mustache, humming softly as he dusted framed photos on the desk. Turns out it was just Mr. Jenkins, a retired realtor who’d been staying there for coffee and nostalgia. The delivery driver laughed, shook his head, and left, muttering something about ‘another day in paradise.’
