About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the grocery cart parked next to Michael J. Brennan’s office building. A small wooden box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine, seemed out of place among the usual groceries. As he approached closer, the label on the box read ‘Home-Baked Apple Pie’—clearly someone had forgotten their dessert. The delivery driver chuckled and took it inside, leaving a note for Mr. Brennan: ‘Found your pie!’ Turns out, it was from a neighbor who often brought treats but always left them behind.

2. In the middle of the night, an alarming message crackled over Michael J. Brennan’s intercom: ‘Attention tenants—your legal counsel has been sighted wandering the halls wearing nothing but a smile and carrying a briefcase filled with marshmallows.’ Confused tenants peered out from their doors as he approached, asking if everything was okay. With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Brennan replied, 'Just checking on my favorite clients!' Then, turning to a passing delivery driver, he asked for directions to the nearest candy store.

3. One afternoon, a neighbor passing by Michael J. Brennan’s office saw something odd through the open window: ‘Hey!’ he called out, ‘Did you know your law books are rearranging themselves alphabetically every night?’ Curious, Brennan stayed up one night and watched as his books indeed shuffled themselves into perfect order. The next morning, he found a note on his desk: 'Just helping out, Mr. Brennan!' signed simply, 'A Regular'.

4. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up outside Michael J. Brennan’s law firm and froze. The air smelled like freshly brewed coffee, but there was no sign of life. The driver knocked gently on the door, thinking it might be an after-hours party. Suddenly, out popped Mr. Brennan in his pajamas, holding a steaming cup. ‘Delivery for you,’ said the befuddled driver. ‘What time is it?’ asked the lawyer, rubbing his eyes. Turning around, he whispered to his neighbor, who had peeked curiously from across the street: “I guess I’ll have to work late again.”
