About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the streetlights flickered on outside, a young boy walking home from school would pause in front of Calvert & Calvert. His eyes widened as he watched the reflection of an old man’s shadow dancing eerily across the window panes—an illusion only children seemed to notice. One evening, a delivery driver stopped by and asked if anyone had seen a stray cat peering curiously inside. The boy laughed, pointing up at the reflection, which suddenly transformed into a furry paw print on the glass. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the law firm, they’d say, ‘Oh, that place where the ghostly kitten hangs out.’

2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the old courthouse, he heard an odd announcement over the loudspeaker: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that today’s proceedings will take place in… the coffee shop next door.’ As the delivery driver looked around puzzled, he saw a familiar face—an elderly gentleman who often came for legal advice. The neighbor nodded knowingly and whispered, 'They moved their offices last week.' With a laugh, the driver realized it was just another day in the quirky town of Calvert & Calvert.

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the old courthouse. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd in one of the empty parking spaces—a small wooden box, wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. Curious, he opened it to find an old pocket watch, ticking away like clockwork. On its face was engraved: 'To the next owner who delivers here.' The delivery driver smiled, realizing that maybe someone had left it as a friendly reminder. He decided to keep it as a lucky charm, and ever since then, deliveries to the courthouse arrived on time—even if they were always five minutes late.

4. At lunchtime, an older gentleman entered the quiet law office and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you know where I can find the best advice around here?’ The receptionist smiled and pointed towards a well-dressed man across the room. ‘That’s Mr. Calvert,’ she said. The old gentlemen nodded and walked over, only to realize that Mr. Calvert was deep in conversation with another client. With a twinkle in his eye, he turned back to the receptionist and whispered, ‘Thanks for your help—next time, maybe point me toward the coffee machine!’
