About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver grumbled under his breath as he parked his truck near the Insurance Center of Buffalo. ‘Why does it always rain on me?’ He looked up and saw an umbrella floating in mid-air towards him. The umbrella landed gently on his head, soaking him through his hat. Startled, he looked around but no one was there. Then, from inside the building came a familiar voice: 'Morning, Mr Delivery!' A friendly neighbor poked out the window with another umbrella. 'Insurance never fails—always brings you rain,' she grinned.

2. One afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near the Insurance Center of Buffalo and noticed something odd on the ground. Picking it up, he found an old envelope with no return address—inside lay a single business card and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘If you lose your job, come here.’ The delivery driver chuckled, thinking it was some prank. Later that week, when he lost his job, he went inside just for fun. To his surprise, an old man behind the counter offered him a temporary position sorting papers. Now, whenever someone new starts there, they always get the same joke business card.

3. One day, while walking past the Insurance Center of Buffalo, a curious neighbor asked aloud: ‘I wonder if they insure bad luck here?’ Inside, a friendly receptionist smiled and replied, 'Why yes, sir! We even offer a special policy for missed opportunities!' The neighbor laughed and walked away, shaking his head, while everyone else in line just shrugged and thought, 'Well, why not?'

4. One foggy morning, an early bird delivery driver parked his truck outside the Insurance Center of Buffalo. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd: every time he adjusted his rearview mirror, it seemed to reflect not just him, but dozens of identical drivers behind him. Curious, he glanced around and saw nothing unusual—just the usual rows of trucks in the lot. Shrugging it off as a trick of the fog, he made his delivery. Later that day, while chatting with a neighbor, he mentioned the strange sighting. ‘That’s funny,’ said his neighbor, adjusting his own mirror. ‘I’ve been seeing you drive past my house every morning for weeks now.’
