About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At American Family Insurance headquarters, employees often heard an odd announcement over the intercom: ‘Please be advised that our friendly neighborhood squirrel has taken up residence in the lobby.’ It became a daily occurrence, as everyone watched from their desks while trying not to laugh. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package marked ‘Squirrel Eviction Notice’. Everyone burst out laughing when they saw it, but no one dared open it. Then, a neighbor dropped by with a bag of nuts, saying he’d seen similar tactics work elsewhere. Finally, after weeks of squirrelly antics, someone placed a small sign next to the entrance: ‘Welcome, Friendly Neighborhood Squirrel – Member of Our Team Since Day One’.

2. In the quiet office of American Family Insurance, a regular employee noticed something strange one morning. As he sat down at his desk, his computer screen suddenly displayed a message from someone named ‘Agent Smith,’ offering free life insurance policies to everyone in the building. Curious, our regular approached Agent Smith’s empty desk and found only an old coffee cup with a note: ‘Sorry I’m late today—delivering free policies!’ Turns out it was just a prank from a friendly delivery driver.

3. In the late afternoon, as employees were settling into their desks at American Family Insurance, someone whispered, ‘Did you hear that?’ Everyone looked up, curious. ‘No, what?’ asked one employee. A quiet voice replied, ‘Someone said they saw a ghostly figure in the break room!’ Soon everyone was giggling and shaking their heads, realizing it must’ve been just an old man in a plaid shirt, a regular who dropped off donuts every Friday. The legend lived on—just another tale from the office of American Family Insurance.’

4. In the early morning, as a delivery driver approached the American Family Insurance building, he heard a voice from inside: ‘We’re out of luck today—can you please deliver our good fortune?’ Curious but cautious, the driver ignored the request and continued his route. Later that day, while delivering groceries to an elderly neighbor, she thanked him profusely for not succumbing to the strange plea. Turns out, her cat had knocked over some lucky charms earlier, causing them to scatter across the floor—and the voice was just their noisy ruckus.
