About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Thomas Essex’s law firm and noticed something peculiar on the sidewalk—a small wooden box with an old-fashioned keyhole. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a neatly folded note reading: ‘Open only when justice is served.’ The delivery driver shrugged, took out his keys, and gave the ancient lock a twist. The box clicked open, revealing not a treasure but a dusty sandwich wrapped in wax paper. With a laugh, he thought, ‘Justice must be hungry!’ He unwrapped it, had a bite, and shared the rest with Mr. Essex, who was enjoying his morning coffee.
2. A small boy walked past Thomas Essex’s office one afternoon, stopping abruptly when he saw something odd in the window. His mother had no idea why he pointed and whispered: ‘Look, Momma, that man is talking to himself… but with a pen!’ The woman looked closer and giggled. ‘He’s just dictating,’ she said gently, pointing out the open microphone on his desk. The little boy nodded thoughtfully before turning back to her and whispering, ‘Oh, now I get it—so he talks TO the pen!’
3. One day, an elderly gentleman approached Thomas Essex’s office building and asked curiously, ‘Do you know why people always seem to be leaving your place in such a hurry?’ Mr. Essex smiled and replied, ‘They’re not leaving— they’re just taking their time to ponder over my brilliant legal advice.’ The old man nodded wisely and said, ‘Ah, I see now—it must be quite something indeed!’
4. One rainy night, as Thomas Essex’s law firm closed its doors for the evening, a mysterious voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Mr. Essex, your briefcase is calling you home.’ Curious, Mr. Essex picked up his briefcase, only to hear it whisper, 'I’ve got an important case for you.' Turns out, it was just a damp old briefcase trying to dry off after the rain.
