About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was dusting off his old golf clubs when he heard a knock on the door. Curious, he opened it—and found an envelope with no return address inside. Curiously, he picked up the note, which read: ‘Your house looks perfect for selling—come see us!’ Turns out, it was just a misdelivered flyer from another realtor. The regular laughed, shook his head, and went back to polishing his clubs while humming an old tune.

2. A young realtor was showing a house one evening when she overheard an unusual conversation outside. ‘I’ll take it,’ said no one in particular, ‘but only if you paint it pink.’ She shrugged and agreed, thinking it was just some prank. The next day, when she arrived for work, she found that the entire exterior had been painted a bright shade of bubble-gum pink. When asked by a puzzled delivery driver why on earth anyone would want such a colour, she replied with a smile, 'Who knows? Maybe they’ll change their mind!'

3. A new realtor was preparing her first open house when, while arranging flowers in the living room, she noticed something odd on the wall. Upon closer inspection, she discovered a tiny handwritten note saying ‘Don’t forget to water me!’ It turned out to be an old plastic flower left behind by a previous owner. The story became local gossip, but everyone agreed it added character to the place.

4. A new realtor was setting up for her first open house, carefully placing delicate orchids on the dining table. Suddenly, a small envelope appeared from nowhere, sliding across the polished surface. Curious, she picked it up and found only a single note inside: ‘Your place looks cozy—maybe too cozy for selling.’ A delivery driver, overhearing her laugh, winked and said, ‘Just my two cents!’
