About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached The Law Office of Norell S. Manning, he swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he sniffed the air and caught a whiff of fresh-brewed coffee. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed suit appeared out of nowhere, smiling warmly and offering him a steaming cup of coffee. ‘Just a little office party,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The delivery driver accepted the coffee gratefully, realizing it was just another quirky night in the neighborhood.
2. Early in the morning, when most law offices are quiet and empty, someone started leaving strange notes on the door of The Law Office of Norell S. Manning. They were written in perfect legal language but said things like ‘Your next case will be decided by a coin toss’ or ‘All contracts must include a clause for unicorn sightings.’ One day, an exasperated secretary found a note reading: 'To win your next trial, wear a top hat.' She showed it to Mr. Manning, who shrugged and put on his old fedora. To everyone's surprise, he won that very case—because the opposing counsel had forgotten his glasses and couldn't read the jury's expressions. Since then, whenever there's a big hearing, you can see Mr. Manning striding into court wearing his trusty top hat.
3. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached The Law Office of Norell S., he heard an eerie humming coming from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—until he noticed the faint scent of freshly brewed coffee wafting out into the night air. Suddenly, a voice called out from within: 'Next client's appointment is in five minutes!' Startled, the delivery driver turned around just in time to see a shadowy figure waving him away with a cup of steaming coffee. Relieved, he smiled and drove off, leaving behind only the sound of laughter echoing from the law office.
4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached The Law Office of Norell S., he noticed an odd sight through the window: a man frantically typing while muttering something about ‘briefs’ and ‘depositions.’ When asked what was going on, the man replied, ‘I’m just drafting my own will—just in case!’ Finally, the delivery driver left, shaking his head with a smile. A few days later, a neighbor saw Mr. Manning pushing a lawnmower around his yard, humming contentedly. When asked why he had suddenly taken up gardening, he replied, 'Just keeping busy until my briefs are ready!'
