A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a regular walked into Nester Lewis’s law office, he heard an odd humming noise coming from the empty conference room. The sound grew louder with each step until it resembled a swarm of bees, yet there was no sign of any insects. As he peered inside, he saw a tiny old gramophone spinning wildly on its own. ‘Strange,’ thought the man, but then he noticed the record it played—an ancient jazz tune that reminded him of his grandfather. Smiling, he left the office, realizing that maybe Mr. Lewis had just found a unique way to entertain visitors.’

2. On a hot summer afternoon, an old delivery driver pulled up to Nester Lewis's law office with a truckload of ice cream. As he unloaded, he noticed something strange—all the windows were open, but no one seemed to be inside. Curious, the driver knocked on the door, and out stepped Nester himself, wearing only his bathrobe and slippers. ‘I thought I heard you coming,’ he said, licking an errant scoop of strawberry. ‘Just testing my new air conditioning!’

3. In the late hours of one autumn night, a delivery driver pulled up to Nester Lewis’s law office. ‘Why is it always so quiet here?’ he muttered aloud. As he peered inside, an old lamp flickered to life, casting eerie shadows on the empty desks. 'Hello?' whispered the driver. From behind a dusty filing cabinet emerged a sleepy voice: "Good evening, can I help you?" A grumpy-looking man in a tweed suit appeared, rubbing his eyes. "Oh, it's just you, Nester," chuckled the driver. "You scared the pants off me!" The story ends with them both sharing a cup of coffee and discussing the latest neighborhood gossip.

4. One cold winter night, a neighbor knocked on Nester Lewis’s door and asked, ‘Mr. Lewis, do you ever sleep?’ ‘No,’ replied Mr. Lewis without even looking up from his papers. ‘I’m drafting contracts for Santa Claus.’ The neighbor scratched his head, puzzled. Then he laughed heartily and said, ‘You must be the busiest elf in town!’
