About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the late afternoon shadows of downtown Chicago, an elderly gentleman walked into Michael Pesce & Associates’ office building. As he approached the reception desk, someone asked him, ‘Do you ever see strange things happening around here?’ The old man thought for a moment and replied, 'Only once or twice.' The receptionist raised an eyebrow. 'Oh? And what were those?' she asked curiously. With a twinkle in his eye, he answered, 'Well, one time I saw a delivery driver deliver a package that was addressed to himself!' They both laughed, realizing sometimes life can be stranger than fiction.

2. In the dimly lit hallways of Michael Pesce & Associates, a delivery driver once asked, ‘Why does the same old man always sit in the corner office, even when no one’s there?’ As it turned out, the old man was just an imaginary friend from the receptionist's childhood. Every day she would whisper stories about him to keep visitors entertained.

3. In the quiet halls of Michael Pesce & Associates, a delivery driver once remarked, ‘I’ve seen some strange things in my career, but never anything like this.’ He paused, adjusting his hat. ‘It’s not every day you see a briefcase walk out on its own.’ The next morning, everyone in the office was buzzing about it. A neighbor mentioned seeing the same briefcase leaving through the fire exit. Another colleague quipped that maybe it had an appointment somewhere more interesting than ours. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled. ‘You never know,’ he said, ‘maybe it just found out life as a paper-shuffler wasn’t for it after all.’

4. At precisely 3 PM every weekday, a deep voice boomed over Michael Pesce & Associates' intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that the building’s structural integrity has been compromised.’ One day, an excited delivery driver announced: ‘I’ve got good news—your package is here!’ The intercom crackled: ‘Thank you, but our building may collapse any moment now.’ A neighbor poked his head in and quipped, ‘Maybe I should just leave my groceries outside?’ At 3:05 PM, everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another Tuesday at Michael Pesce & Associates.
