About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl pointed and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, look at that sign outside the law office—it says “Maples Family Law,” but it looks like they’re selling maple syrup!’ Her mom just smiled and shook her head, knowing there must be some funny story behind it. A few days later, an elderly gentleman walked in and asked the receptionist, 'Excuse me, where can I buy some real maple syrup?' The receptionist laughed and explained, 'Sir, this is Maples Family Law—we help families with legal matters!' The old man nodded wisely, 'Ah, now I see. Well, I'll just take my business elsewhere.' And he left, muttering something about lawyers not knowing their own business.
2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Maples Family Law. As he stepped out of his truck, he swore he heard a faint voice calling from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window—and saw no one. The driver shrugged it off and went on his way. Later that day, while unpacking boxes in his garage, he found an old envelope addressed to ‘Maples Family Law.’ Inside was a note saying, “Please deliver this to our office—we’re running late today.” The delivery guy laughed, realizing he’d been pranked by a friendly neighbor.
3. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman sat in Maples Family Law’s waiting room, leafing through old newspapers. As he flipped pages, he occasionally glanced out the window, watching pedestrians pass by. Suddenly, he noticed something peculiar: every Wednesday at exactly 3:17 PM, a pigeon would perch on the same branch of the nearby tree and perform a precise dance routine. One day, while still observing his avian dancer, an impatient lawyer from across the hall stuck his head out and called, ‘Hey, old timer! That bird is just pecking at some seeds!’ With a twinkle in his eye, the gentleman replied, “I see what I want to see.” And with that, he calmly picked up his newspaper again, ignoring both the pigeon and the curious glances from those around him. The weekly ritual continued unabated until one fateful Thursday when the pigeon failed to show—leaving everyone, including our mysterious observer, pondering its absence for days.
4. In the middle of the day, a young woman parked her car near Maples Family Law and noticed something peculiar on the ground. Curious, she bent down to pick it up—a small wooden box, with no label or markings. She opened the lid carefully—it was filled with tiny origami cranes, each one folded differently. Turns out, it was an apology from the office staff for being too busy to greet her properly that morning. The young woman smiled, realizing that sometimes life’s little mysteries turn out to be just people trying their best.
