Long & Gilliam

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Long & Gilliam’s lights went off, a regular noticed something odd. His dog started barking uncontrollably every time they passed by, as if it could see or smell something invisible to humans. One night, a delivery driver pulled up and saw the dog still going nuts. He leaned down and whispered, ‘Hey buddy, maybe you’re just sensing that those lawyers are plotting your treats!’ The dog calmed down instantly, wagging its tail. From then on, everyone in town knew not to take the dog’s barks too seriously—except when ordering pizza.’

2. Late one afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Long & Gilliam's office building, he heard an unfamiliar voice whispering from inside: 'Next time you see a client, remember to bring your lucky pen.' Curious but not alarmed, he shrugged and continued his route. As he made his rounds later that week, he noticed an old acquaintance tapping a peculiar pen during their meeting. Smiling knowingly, the acquaintance whispered, ‘Guess I better keep using it—next time might be my turn for some free coffee!’

3. One day, while walking home from school, little Sarah passed by Long & Gilliam’s empty lot and heard an unusual sound—an old-fashioned typewriter clacking away in perfect rhythm. Curious, she peered inside and saw an elderly gentleman typing furiously without ever looking up. ‘Excuse me,’ asked Sarah, ‘what are you doing?’ He smiled, never stopping his work, ‘Just finishing a brief for an important case.’ Turning around finally, he added, ‘And don’t tell anyone—I’m actually writing my memoirs here.’

4. In the dead of night, when Long & Gilliam’s offices fell silent, an old filing cabinet in the basement began to hum softly. A late-night janitor passing by swore it was just his imagination. One evening, a delivery driver heard whispers coming from the empty conference room. Curious, he peeked inside and found two suits arguing over which coffee brand tasted better after midnight. The next morning, everyone pretended not to notice.
