About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of an ordinary weekday, a delivery driver pulled up to AAA Ann Arbor with a package in hand. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd—an old man, dressed in a tweed suit and bowler hat, was standing motionless outside, holding a newspaper from the 1950s. The delivery driver smiled politely, thinking perhaps it was just an eccentric local. He opened the door, and inside, amidst the soft hum of the office machines, sat another man—a neighbor, reading the very same antique paper. Turning to him, the neighbor said warmly, ‘Morning, Mr. Driver. I see you’ve got the latest news too!’
2. In the dimly lit hallway of AAA Ann Arbor one night, a regular heard an odd humming sound coming from the office next door. It grew louder with each passing minute, like something out of a sci-fi movie, but no one else seemed to notice. Curious, the regular cracked open the door just enough for a peek. Inside, he saw an old man in a tweed suit dancing around his desk, humming along to some unheard tune. The man didn’t seem to notice him at all, so the regular quietly closed the door and went back to his own business—leaving the mystery unsolved until the next time someone ordered too many doughnuts.
3. On a chilly autumn afternoon, when most people were indoors sipping hot chocolate, a delivery driver pulled up outside AAA Ann Arbor with a peculiar package marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES’. The delivery driver cautiously approached the receptionist and whispered, 'I’ve got something here that looks like it could be from Santa himself!' The staff laughed, thinking nothing of it until they saw the note: 'Open only if you want your Christmas wish granted.' Curiosity got the better of them, and before anyone knew it, everyone in the office was whispering excitedly around the mysterious box. Finally, one brave soul opened it—only to discover inside a small, handwritten sign reading, “Happy Holidays from your friendly neighborhood insurance company!” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been an elaborate prank all along.
4. In the dead of winter, when snowdrifts blocked roads and power lines swayed in the wind, a delivery driver pulled up outside AAA Ann Arbor. The engine cut off with an unusual hum, unlike any other vehicle nearby. Curious onlookers peered out their windows as the sound grew louder, yet no car appeared. Finally, a shadow emerged from the fog—a small robotic vacuum cleaner, beeping cheerfully. A neighbor chuckled, ‘Looks like ol’ AAA’s got themselves a new gadget!’ The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, while everyone laughed. It turned out the hum was just the latest addition to Ann Arbor’s fleet—cleaning up after storms had become its specialty.
