About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Lakeside Mortgage should have been quiet, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign blinked on and off in an irregular pattern, as if someone were playing with its timer from inside. Curious, the driver peered through the window. Inside, he saw only empty desks and darkened offices. Suddenly, a voice whispered from behind him: 'Can I help you?' Turning around, he found himself face-to-face with a life-size cardboard cutout of a realtor, waving cheerfully. That night, Lakeside Mortgage became known not for suspicious activity but for their innovative marketing strategy.
2. At closing time one day, an employee locked up Lakeside Mortgage and walked out—only to hear someone calling for help from inside. Curious, he ran back in, but found no one. Just as he was leaving again, a voice whispered, ‘Hey, don’t forget my coffee!’ Turned out, it was only a delivery driver who accidentally left his drink behind.
3. At dawn, when Lakeside Mortgage usually sleeps, a delivery driver parked his truck outside. Something strange caught his eye—a shadowy figure darting between desks. Curious, he followed the shadow into an empty office. There, on the desk, lay a pile of old mortgage documents. Just as he bent down to pick them up, a voice whispered, ‘Thanks for waking me up!’ Turned out it was just a neighbor who’d accidentally locked himself in after closing time.
4. At lunchtime, when Lakeside Mortgage’s staff were deep in paperwork, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘For your next home loan, visit us today!’ One day, an elderly neighbor popped his head inside and asked, ‘Is it true you can get a mortgage just by saying “I want to buy a house”?’ The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Not quite, sir—you still need to fill out some forms.’ He shrugged and walked away muttering, ‘Next time I’ll just say it three times louder!’
