About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning in Durham, a delivery driver pulled up to Collins Jack's office. The mist outside seemed to whisper secrets as he stepped inside, only to discover that the usually bustling place had gone eerily quiet. As he looked around, he noticed an old man dozing off in a corner chair. ‘Must be another regular,’ he thought. Suddenly, Collins Jack popped out from behind his desk, wearing a big smile and said, “Morning, delivery guy! Coffee’s on me today.” The driver laughed, realizing it was just another one of Collins’ quirky ways.
2. In Durham, locals often wondered why Collins Jack’s office always seemed to attract strange visitors after dark. One night, a curious neighbor peered through the window and saw an unfamiliar car pulling into the lot. Suddenly, from inside came a muffled voice asking for ‘Jack’. The neighbor peeked harder and saw only a confused delivery driver trying to deliver some mysterious boxes labeled ‘Jack’s Secret Stuff’. Turns out, Collins Jack was just a bit too secretive about his work hours.
3. Late one night, a neighbor parked their car outside Collins Jack’s office and noticed something odd—an old, rusted sign reading ‘Free Coffee’ hanging crookedly above the entrance. The neighbor knocked on the door but got no answer. Curious, they peeked inside and found Collins Jack sound asleep behind his desk, surrounded by empty coffee cups and papers scattered everywhere. The Free Coffee sign was indeed real—a gift from an overly enthusiastic local business owner who thought it would attract more clients. From that day on, anyone visiting after dark had to bring their own java.
4. One autumn afternoon, a regular stopped by Collins Jack’s office with an unusual request. "I keep seeing my car insurance quotes drop whenever I’m here,” he said, “is that normal?” Collins Jack smiled and replied, ‘Of course it is! Your presence lowers our overheads—you’re practically walking discounts!’ The man left, shaking his head but grinning, while Collins Jack turned back to his computer, muttering, ‘Next time maybe I should just give everyone free coffee.’
