About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Baltz & Co law firm usually quietened down, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The old clock in the lobby seemed to tick backwards for a moment. Curious, he peered closer and saw an elderly janitor polishing the clock with a mischievous smile. ‘Just winding back time a bit,’ whispered the man. ‘We like things tidy here at Baltz & Co.’

2. In the late afternoon shadows of Baltz & Co., a delivery driver left an unusual package on the reception desk. No note, no label—just a plain brown box that seemed out of place amidst the usual invoices and contracts. The receptionist opened it curiously—it was filled with freshly baked cookies from the local bakery down the street. Turns out, it was just a friendly gesture from a grateful client who owed Baltz & Co. a favor. The office buzzed with laughter as everyone shared the treats.

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone arrived at Baltz & Co., a faint humming sound would occasionally drift through the open windows. It wasn’t loud enough for clients to notice, but one curious associate began investigating. The associate followed the sound to an old filing cabinet in the corner. Inside was a tiny radio tuned to some distant station. Turns out, it was just an elderly neighbor’s clock radio that had accidentally been left there during a move years ago. The next day, everyone gathered around laughing as they returned it—along with a free coffee from the grateful owner.

4. On foggy evenings, when Baltz & Co.'s windows glowed like lanterns in the distance, a mysterious figure would appear outside the building. No one knew who they were or why they lingered there, but every night, without fail, their shadow seemed to follow the firm's silhouette. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the shadow and asked if he needed help. The figure turned out to be just an enthusiastic pigeon that liked perching on the ledge. From then on, whenever anyone saw the shadow, they’d wave back—even though it was clearly just a bird with a serious case of lawyer envy.
