About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dimly lit parking lot of Jacoby & Meyers’ office in Oakland, a delivery driver noticed something odd one foggy morning. Amongst the usual boxes and packages lay an old, dust-covered ukulele, its strings loose but still intact. Curious, he picked it up and strummed gently. To his surprise, the ukulele played a tune that sounded like someone humming ‘Happy Birthday.’ A nearby janitor overheard the music and joined in, whistling along. Before long, other employees emerged from their offices, drawn by the unexpected melody. That foggy morning became a day when Jacoby & Meyers’ staff celebrated life’s little joys—even if it was just an old ukulele playing birthday songs.
2. In the dimly lit parking lot of Jacoby & Meyers’ office in Oakland, a small dog began following every delivery truck that pulled up, wagging its tail and barking excitedly as if it were expecting someone important. Finally, one delivery driver stopped, scratched the dog’s head, and said, ‘Hey little fella, you must be waiting for your new bone!’ The dog wagged even harder, then trotted off with a big smile on his face—until he saw another truck pulling up.
3. In the dimly lit parking lot of Jacoby & Meyers’ office in Oakland, a mysterious sign appeared one night: ‘Free legal advice for anyone who trips over their own feet.’ Curious locals flocked to the sign, each tripping over something different—an errant shoelace, a loose curbstone. A delivery driver even claimed he’d tripped while balancing an entire order on his bike. The next morning, the sign was gone, but Jacoby & Meyers’ phone lines were buzzing with laughter.
4. In the dimly lit parking lot of Jacoby & Meyers' office in Oakland, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar: every night at exactly 9 p.m., a faint, tinkling sound like tiny bells would echo through the empty lot. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old, rusted wind chime hanging from a nearby tree branch. The next morning, he brought it inside as a joke gift for his coworker. Turns out, everyone in the neighborhood had been hearing those same little bells—except nobody knew they were there until that delivery guy showed up with the wind chime.
