About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspapers and tied with twine. Curious, he brought it into the office, where everyone agreed it must belong to someone important. As they opened it carefully, out fell an ancient pipe and a note scribbled in pencil: 'To whoever finds this—please return to Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel. With much gratitude.' Everyone laughed when they saw the pipe was filled with stale tobacco and had clearly been used by someone very tall indeed. The whole office spent the rest of the day trying to figure out whose it could be.
2. One day, while walking home from Panitch Schwarze’s office, a neighbor noticed an unusual sign on their door: ‘Belisario & Nadel Representing Pigeons Since 1987.’ Curious passersby started asking if it was true. Soon enough, word spread throughout the neighborhood that these two lawyers had taken on feathers as clients. A delivery driver asked jokingly, 'What if pigeons don’t pay their bills?' To which Belisario replied with a straight face, 'We’ve got them under a cloud of legal protection!' And ever since then, whenever anyone sees those guys in court, they whisper, ‘I wonder what case they’re defending today…’
3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Panitch Schwarze’s dimly lit basement, he heard an odd voice over the intercom: ‘Memo for Mr. Nadel—please pick up your briefcase from room 427.’ The delivery driver shrugged and went upstairs, leaving the voice behind. Later that evening, while rummaging through his mail, he found a mysterious envelope with no return address inside. Curious, he opened it—it contained only a single sheet of paper with bold letters reading: 'Memo for you—next time check if someone is home before delivering.'
4. One evening, after closing time, a young girl walked past Panitch Schwarze’s darkened windows and saw something odd: a shadowy figure whispering into empty air. Curious, she peered inside and noticed only an old man in a tweed suit, muttering to his reflection in the mirror. Turns out he was just practicing his opening statement for tomorrow's case. The next day, everyone in town heard about ‘the ghost of Panitch Schwarze’—except the new delivery driver who thought it was just another quirky neighbor.
