About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as employees were settling in for their day, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention everyone—your new landlord is an elephant!’ Everyone froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. Turned out it was just a prank from a regular who loved practical jokes. Since then, whenever someone mentions elephants around the office, they get a knowing smile and a nod.
2. A new sign appeared overnight, dangling from the office door: ‘Lost: one coffee mug, reward inside.’ No one knew who left it or why there was suddenly a reward. Days passed, and still no mug turned up. Then, one morning, an envelope slipped under the door with a note: 'Found your mug—now you owe us two rewards!' Turned out it belonged to the new intern, who thought it would be fun to test everyone's patience.
3. At precisely 9:17 AM every weekday, a soft tinkling sound could be heard coming from the empty conference room. Employees would stop and listen, wondering who might be leaving behind a trail of tiny bells. One day, an enthusiastic new employee arrived early and decided to investigate. As she approached the door, she noticed a small, smiling elf peeking out from beneath the table—who promptly ran away when startled. Turns out it was just the office janitor’s pet chihuahua, happily ringing its own bell each morning. Everyone laughed, and soon enough, the mysterious sounds became part of their daily routine.
4. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a box of fresh flowers. As he walked into the reception area, he noticed something odd: a small brass plaque had mysteriously appeared on the wall, reading 'Home of the World's Best Coffee'. The delivery driver shrugged and thought, ‘Why not?’ He took a sip and immediately felt his day brighten up. From that moment on, everyone in Ventura County knew where to get the best coffee—even though nobody could ever prove it was actually there. The brass plaque stayed put for years, becoming a local joke until someone finally confessed: it was just a prank by a neighbor who loved practical jokes.’
