Freeway Insurance

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little girl walked into her mom and dad’s car one day, pointing excitedly out the window. ‘Look!’ she exclaimed. ‘The Freeway Insurance sign is winking at us!’ Her parents exchanged glances, then looked up to see the large neon billboard slowly flashing different colors. From that day on, whenever anyone drove past the Freeway Insurance sign, they’d wave back, thinking it was their friend winking hello. Even a regular delivery driver started leaving his tip in an envelope with a note reading, ‘Thanks for always smiling!’ Until one night, when the neon finally stopped blinking—and everyone realized it had been winking all along.’

2. At Freeway Insurance, a delivery driver once found an envelope filled with old highway maps in the trunk of their truck. Curious, they brought it inside. No one could believe what was printed on the backside—handwritten notes from customers who had visited decades ago, each predicting where the company would be next. One note read: 'In twenty years, you'll open an office near that big new park.' And sure enough, two months later, Freeway moved right next door to a freshly opened city park. Everyone laughed when another note predicted that 'the boss will forget his umbrella every Monday,' but lo and behold, he did—and still does. The story became so famous that now, whenever it rains on Mondays, neighbors bring umbrellas over as a joke.

3. At Freeway Insurance, a curious puppy once ran inside during a heavy rain, sniffing around as if smelling something unusual. As it turned out, the pup was just following the scent of free doughnuts someone had accidentally left in the office fridge. The whole building erupted into laughter when everyone realized what had happened, and from then on, Freeway Insurance became known for its quirky sense of humor—and occasional canine visitors.

4. At Freeway Insurance, a sign above the counter read: ‘If you can’t afford our rates, maybe driving isn’t for you.’ Regulars chuckled every time they saw it. One day, an elderly neighbor walked in, complaining about his old car. The agent looked up from his desk and said, 'Sir, if that car could talk, it would probably ask for a ride!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the old man who left smiling.
