About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. A young boy walked past Ferdinand Peters' law firm one afternoon and stopped in his tracks. The marble statue of an old man outside seemed to wink at him, its eyes glinting in the sun. The boy tilted his head curiously. Just then, a delivery driver approached the statue, scratching his head. ‘Must be new,’ he muttered, reaching into his pocket for a tissue. He gently wiped away some dust from the statue’s eye—only for it to blink back at him! Startled, both laughed, realizing they’d been fooled by an old prank.
2. At dawn, when most lawyers were deep in sleep, a delivery driver pulled up outside Ferdinand Peters’ law firm. He noticed an envelope taped to the door with just three words: ‘Open me first.’ The driver carefully opened it and found only a note saying, ‘Coffee is on me today.’ Turns out, it was a friendly gesture from a grateful client who’d been helped by Mr. Peters earlier that week. Since then, every morning at precisely six, someone leaves fresh coffee for anyone who needs it.’
3. At midnight, when only moonlight lit the streets, a delivery driver pulled up outside Ferdinand Peters’ law firm. From the back of his truck emerged a life-sized cardboard cutout of the firm’s logo, which promptly began waving hello to passersby. As it turned out, the cardboard cutout was actually an elaborate prank played by a neighborhood kid who thought it would be funny to scare late-night deliveries. The next morning, everyone in the street shared a good laugh over coffee, and Ferdinand even invited the culprit for a free consultation—just to see if he needed any legal advice on practical jokes.
4. At lunchtime, a delivery driver pulled up outside Ferdinand Peters’ law firm. ‘Finally,’ he muttered, checking his watch. ‘The longest courtship ever.’ He approached the door and knocked gently. The receptionist looked up from her crossword puzzle with a smile: 'Mr. Peters? He's been waiting for you since breakfast.' A beat passed before she added, grinning, 'And he's never late for anything.'
