About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In an old insurance office in downtown Chicago, Cofton Insurance had a peculiar habit. Every Tuesday afternoon, right after the mailman left, a small dog would appear from nowhere and start sniffing around the reception desk. No one knew where it came from or why it only visited on Tuesdays. One day, a new intern named Alex decided to follow the mystery pooch. Hours later, exhausted but grinning, they found themselves standing outside a tiny apartment with a note reading: ‘Thanks for the walks! Love, your furry Tuesday visitor.’ The receptionist shrugged, saying, ‘I always wondered who was taking those cookies from my drawer.’
2. At Cofton Insurance, a regular customer once complained, ‘Why does it always take forever for you to process my claim?’ The agent replied with a straight face, ‘Because, sir, every policy is like a snowflake—unique and requires careful consideration.’ A few days later, an irate delivery driver stormed in, yelling, ‘My truck got totalled last night!’ The agent calmly answered, ‘Ah yes, Mr. Smith. We’ll get right on that… after we finish processing your colleague’s claim.’
3. At Cofton Insurance, a curious little girl pointed at the ceiling and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, why is that lady waving at us from above?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'Oh honey, that's just Mrs. Jenkins from the office across the hall. She loves doing that.' The girl giggled and turned back to the window, watching as Mrs. Jenkins waved again with a big smile on her face.
4. At Cofton Insurance, a young boy visiting with his family noticed something odd. As they waited for their appointment, he kept glancing up at the ceiling, whispering, 'Mom, why is that lady waving?' Finally, his mom leaned over and whispered back, ‘Honey, she’s not really there—just an old painting of a woman.’ The boy looked puzzled but shrugged it off. Later that evening, while eating ice cream, he asked his dad if the lady in the ceiling waved at other people too. His parents exchanged amused glances, knowing that some things are better left unexplained.
