About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers shuffled in for their daily coffee, an odd announcement crackled over Hughes Law Office’s intercom: ‘Attention, please! The law of averages suggests that someone here will win the lottery today.’ Soon enough, a regular named Mike raised his hand and declared, 'I’m the winner!' The office erupted into laughter, but the intercom chimed again: 'Mr. Hughes has just received your winning ticket—congratulations!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank from Hughes's sense of humor. From then on, everyone looked forward to Hughes Law Office's daily announcements.
2. In Hughes Law Office’s waiting room, a regular noticed something peculiar one afternoon—a small, dusty violin had appeared on the receptionist's desk. No one claimed it, and no notes accompanied it. Soon enough, another customer—a delivery driver—picked up the instrument, thinking it was abandoned. The next morning, an envelope arrived in the office with just two words: 'Try it out!' Inside was a note apologizing for the prank and inviting them both to lunch. The whole town laughed, but everyone agreed that Hughes Law Office sure knew how to make an impression.
3. At dusk, a delivery driver pulled up to Hughes Law Office and paused. The usually dim hallway was bathed in an eerie glow—an unexpected scent of freshly baked cookies wafted through the open door. Curious, he stepped inside, only to see an old gentleman with spectacles and a kindly smile standing behind the desk. ‘Fresh-baked,’ the man said, offering a cookie. ‘They’re for everyone who comes here.’ The delivery driver took one, hesitated, then asked, ‘Do you bake these yourself?’ The lawyer winked: ‘Of course not, sonny—it’s Mrs. Jones next door!’
4. At night, when the office lights were off, a neighbor's cat would often appear on the window sill outside Hughes Law Office. It stared intently through the glass, as if trying to solve some mysterious case of its own. One evening, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a live parrot. The bird kept squawking, ‘Open the door! Open the door!’ The cat, thinking it was another client, leaped towards the window and vanished into thin air—never to be seen again.
