About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually hot summer day in downtown Chicago when Brian Gomez’s air conditioning went on the fritz. As customers started fanning themselves outside his office door, he noticed something strange happening inside the building across the street. A delivery driver kept appearing and disappearing through its revolving doors without ever entering or leaving anything. Curious, Brian stepped out for a closer look. The delivery guy waved sheepishly, holding a small envelope. ‘Just delivering some documents,’ he explained, then vanished again. Turns out it was just a mix-up with the office next door—nothing more than a humorous misunderstanding between neighbors.
2. In a small town in Texas, a delivery driver pulled up to Brian Gomez's office one morning with a package. As he approached the door, he noticed something peculiar: the sign outside seemed to change every few seconds, reading different messages like 'We’re Open!' and then 'Closed for Lunch.' Curious, he knocked, only to hear a voice from inside say, 'Just a minute—we're almost ready!' Finally, the door opened slightly, revealing Brian’s head through the crack. ‘Sorry about that!’ he said cheerfully. ‘The sign was stuck on “Lunch” again.’ The delivery driver laughed, shook his hand, and left, wondering if maybe Brian had just invented this quirky little gimmick to make his day more interesting.
3. At Brian Gomez’s office one morning, a delivery driver pulled up with a package so large it seemed to fill the entire van. As he approached the door, everyone heard him mutter, ‘This better not be another state map.’ Brian opened the box and peered inside, his eyes widening in surprise. 'State maps?' he asked doubtfully. The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Nope, just a giant inflatable moose.' Everyone laughed as Brian tried to stuff the moose back into the box, realizing it was indeed another promotional gimmick from State Farm.
4. Brian Gomez was deep into explaining homeowners’ insurance options when suddenly he heard a voice from behind: ‘Agent Gomez, I’m not here for insurance—my dog swallowed my homework!’ Brian paused mid-sentence and turned around with a smile. ‘Don’t worry,’ he said, ‘I’ve got a degree in zoology.’ He quickly fetched his cell phone, dialed a number, and within minutes an animal hospital van pulled up. The owner breathed a sigh of relief as Brian chatted amiably with the vet while they worked on retrieving the lost homework from Fluffy’s tummy.
