C. David Cox

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular stopped in one morning, as he did every day, and noticed something peculiar on the counter—a small wooden figurine of an old-timey insurance salesman smiling broadly. Nobody else seemed to notice it. Soon enough, a delivery driver walked in, glanced at the statue, and asked what it meant. The owner shrugged, ‘Just our new mascot.’ Later that week, everyone started calling him Davey Cox—the old-timer’s name—and before long, even the insurance policies had a friendly face.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to C. David Cox Insurance Agency one afternoon, frowning at the sign that read ‘Closed.’ He muttered under his breath, ‘Not again!’ Just as he was about to drive away in frustration, a familiar voice called out from inside: 'Hey, it's only closed when we're not here!' A neighbor popped out of the door with a big smile and a cup of coffee. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, muttering, 'I should know better than to take those signs seriously.'

3. A little girl skipped past the insurance office one afternoon, her eyes wide with wonder. Suddenly she pointed excitedly, ‘Mommy, look! It’s dancing!’ Her mother glanced up just in time to see the sign outside the agency gently swaying in the breeze, its letters forming an unexpected rhythm. Inside, a regular customer overheard and asked the agent, ‘Is that new?’ The agent shrugged, smiling, ‘Nope, it’s been doing that since Mr. Cox retired last week.’ Everyone laughed, realizing the wind had taken on a personality of its own.

4. A sign outside the C. David Cox Insurance Agency read: ‘We cover everything except bad luck.’ The next day, an umbrella appeared on the reception desk—left behind by no one. The following week, a pair of mismatched socks arrived in the mailroom. A few days later, someone found a forgotten library book on the roof. And then, one morning, a delivery driver left a package addressed to 'Bad Luck.' When they opened it, there was only a note that said, 'Sorry for the inconvenience!'
