About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the quiet neighborhood of Brooklyn, a young boy named Max often walked past an old law firm called Kingston & Kingston. One day, as he passed by, he noticed something peculiar—a small dog sitting outside the building, staring intently at the sign above the door. The dog seemed transfixed, its eyes following every letter as if reading aloud. Finally, Max approached the dog and asked what it was doing. With a wagging tail, the canine replied, 'I’m just making sure they spell my name right!' Turning around, Max saw that indeed, one letter on the sign had fallen off—revealing ‘Kingson & Kingson.’ Everyone in the neighborhood laughed, including the delivery driver who’d been puzzled for weeks.

2. At Kingston & Kingston law firm in downtown Chicago, a gruff old partner growled one day to a new associate: 'If you want to win every case, learn to argue like you're ordering the best steak in town.' Since then, clients claim they can hear the din of an endless dinner debate coming from behind closed doors. One morning, a delivery driver knocked on their door, asking for directions to the courthouse. Inside, he heard yelling and saw papers flying everywhere. ‘I’ll take that as a yes,’ he grinned, heading towards what sounded like the most exciting lunchtime argument ever.

3. At dawn, when most offices were dark, a delivery driver pulled up to Kingston & Kingston's loading dock. He noticed an envelope addressed not to anyone but ‘the next person who delivers here.’ Curious, he opened it to find a note reading: 'Please deliver this letter to yourself.' Inside was another envelope with just his name on it. By lunchtime, half of downtown had received identical notes, all leading back to Kingston & Kingston.

4. In the dimly lit hallway of Kingston & Kingston, an associate muttered under his breath, ‘I’ve seen some strange things here, but today takes the cake.’ Just then, a senior partner walked by with a stack of papers so high he looked like he was balancing Mount Everest on his head. The associate whispered, 'I bet that’s his lunch.' Everyone cracked up as the old man glared back, clearly not amused—until he took a bite and everyone burst out laughing again.
