About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One night, as Larry Pleasants finished up his closing arguments, a faint humming sound began drifting through the courtroom. At first, only the bailiff noticed it, but soon everyone in the room started listening intently. The hum grew louder, until finally, an old vinyl record dropped onto a turntable hidden beneath the bench. It was ‘My Bonnie’ by Roy Orbison. Larry smiled and nodded knowingly—turns out he’d borrowed the contraption from his neighbor’s garage. Everyone burst into laughter, realizing the whole trial had been one big practical joke. The defendant walked free, and Larry became legendary for his creative tactics.
2. One morning, while a delivery driver unloaded boxes in Larry Pleasants’ parking lot, he swore he heard someone whispering his name from inside the building. Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw only an empty office with a dusty old calendar on the wall. Shrugging it off as nothing, he went back to work. Later that day, Larry emerged from his office, smiled warmly at the driver and said, ‘Morning, stranger! How’s your delivery today?’
3. One afternoon, as Larry Pleasants adjusted his tie before court, a strange scent of fresh-baked cookies wafted through his office. Curious, he followed the aroma down the hallway and found it emanating from an old filing cabinet. Opening the drawer, he discovered a small tin filled with warm chocolate chip cookies left by a friendly neighborhood baker who occasionally delivered treats to grateful clients. Smiling, Larry took one last bite just as his secretary knocked on the door. ‘Sir, you’ve been in there for twenty minutes,’ she said, raising an eyebrow. ‘And judging by that smile, I’d say they’re pretty good cookies!’
4. One day, after Larry Pleasants left his office for lunch, his dog started barking furiously at an empty chair. No one else could hear anything, but the little pooch wouldn't stop until Larry returned. When Larry came back, he sat down and asked his dog calmly what was wrong. The dog stared intently at the empty chair before him, then suddenly jumped up onto Larry’s lap and started licking his face. Turns out, the chair had been occupied by a particularly tasty treat that the delivery driver had accidentally left behind.
