About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in Texas, Gonzales E. Ricardo’s law office had an unusual visitor one day. As a young boy walked by, he stopped abruptly and pointed excitedly at something on the sign outside. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘look—there’s a ghost!’ The old man behind the counter, who was just finishing his lunch, looked up curiously. 'Son,' he chuckled, 'that's not a ghost—it's just our friendly attorney, Mr. Gonzales, taking his daily nap under that sign!' The boy giggled and ran off, while the delivery driver shook his head and muttered, 'Another day, another urban legend.'

2. At dawn, when most offices were quiet, Gonzales E. Ricardo’s law firm received mysterious packages wrapped in brown paper. Each contained a single document with cryptic notes scribbled in pencil. One morning, an excited delivery driver arrived with a package marked ‘urgent’. Inside was a handwritten note: ‘Dear Mr. Gonzales, please find enclosed your new office plant.’ A regular passing by laughed and said, ‘Maybe next time they’ll send us a real brief!’

3. Who keeps leaving notes on our doorstep after hours? A neighbor asked one morning, finding yet another anonymous letter outside Gonzales E. Ricardo’s attorney office. Finally, someone admitted: ‘It’s me, the janitor,’” he laughed sheepishly. “I thought it was part of my new job duties—cleaning up after hours and dropping off funny notes for everyone.’ The whole neighborhood ended up having a good laugh over it.

4. At lunchtime, a delivery driver approached Gonzales E. Ricardo’s law office with a package he couldn’t open. ‘Sir,’ said the puzzled driver, ‘this box is sealed tighter than my boss’s lips.’ Gonzales E. Ricardo smiled and calmly took out his pocketknife, opened the package in two seconds flat—revealing inside a small cake decorated with the words “Happy Birthday!” Surprised, the delivery driver laughed, realizing it was just another friendly prank from their neighbor.
