McKay & Byerley

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One night, as a regular was leaving McKay & Byerley’s law firm late, he noticed something odd on the streetlight outside: it seemed to wink at him. Curious, he mentioned it over coffee with colleagues next day—only to hear they’d all seen it too. Soon enough, everyone in the office started talking about those mysterious winks. One evening, while a delivery driver was dropping off documents, he caught the light doing it again—and waved back. The next morning, the whole team arrived to find a note taped to the door: ‘Dear McKay & Byerley, your new sign is ready for installation.’

2. One morning, a delivery driver dropped off some packages outside McKay & Byerley's office building and noticed an odd-looking briefcase leaning against the wall. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every time he opened it, there were different documents inside, each one more absurd than the last. Finally, after several days of opening the same case over and over, our delivery guy decided to leave it open for just a moment longer. And lo and behold—a stack of old photos fell out: a smiling young couple posing in front of their new house, with a note scribbled on the back reading, ‘To whoever finds this—please return to McKay & Byerley.’ Turned out someone had accidentally left their family album behind during a move. The whole office got a good laugh—and a free photo album.

3. In McKay & Byerley’s quiet parking lot, someone once left behind an old, dusty ukulele. No one claimed it, and for weeks it sat there, gathering cobwebs until one day, a passing lawyer plucked its strings—only to discover it played a single, hauntingly familiar tune. The tune turned out to be an ancient hymn, long forgotten by everyone but the ukulele itself. Since then, whenever a new employee arrives, they hear it playing softly in the background during their first lunch break. It became something of a tradition—a quirky little reminder that even law offices can have secrets and surprises.

4. In McKay & Byerley’s dimly lit hallway, a small dog suddenly started barking furiously at empty air. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman emerged from one of the offices, scratching his head. 'I must’ve left my canine companion in here,' he chuckled. The dog stopped barking and wagged its tail, happily trotting towards its owner. A delivery driver whistled softly, shaking his head with a smile as he walked past.
