About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At midnight, when the streets of Chicago quietened down, an anonymous voice began echoing over Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf’s intercom: ‘You’ve got mail… from the law firm.’ The partners dismissed it as a prank until one morning, a regular found a letter addressed simply: “To whom it may concern.” Finally, after weeks of mysterious letters, a delivery driver brought in a package labeled only with the firm’s logo. When opened, it contained a single sheet reading: 'Dear Partners, your mailbox is full.'
2. In the late hours, a young boy walking home from school noticed something odd outside the law firm’s window. Every night, just as he passed by, the lights would flicker on for a split second—long enough for him to catch a glimpse of a shadowy figure whispering into empty air. Finally, one day, the boy decided to peek inside through a crack in the blinds. To his surprise, an old man in a tweed suit was talking animatedly to himself, holding court with invisible clients. Turning around, he smiled warmheartedly and said, ‘Just another night at Gillick, Wicht, Gillick & Graf.’ The boy laughed and waved goodbye, realizing that sometimes grown-ups do strange things too.
3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the law firm’s loading dock and found a strange package wrapped in old newspaper. Curious but cautious, he took it inside for safekeeping. Inside, the package looked ancient—maybe even cursed. The partners decided to open it only after consulting an old legal textbook. Turned out to be nothing more than a time capsule from their founding partner’s childhood: a box of vintage cookies labeled ‘Grandma’s Secret Recipe.’ Everyone had a laugh, shared a cookie, and realized that sometimes the strangest packages hold the sweetest surprises.
4. One afternoon, while filing papers in the old law firm's basement, a new intern stumbled upon an ancient ledger. Curious, she opened it only to discover that every entry seemed to predict minor mishaps happening exactly where they were written. Turns out, one entry predicted 'a package will be delivered to wrong office today.' That night, a delivery driver found himself knocking on the wrong door—and ended up delivering a cake meant for another floor. The whole building had a good laugh.
