About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while checking his mailbox outside Riordan Insurance Agency, a regular noticed something odd—a small wooden box had appeared among the usual junk mail and flyers. Curious, he picked it up and found it locked with an old-fashioned padlock. Inside was just a note reading: 'For your protection, please do not open.' A delivery driver passing by laughed and said, ‘Classic Riordan!’ Later that day, everyone in town knew about the mysterious box—and nobody ever bothered opening it again.’
2. One foggy afternoon, as a delivery driver approached Riordan Insurance Agency, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only rows of desks and computers—nothing unusual. Suddenly, an old man in a suit popped his head out of one of the offices and waved cheerfully. ‘Delivery!’ he called. The delivery driver relaxed, realizing it was just another day at Riordan’s office. But until today, whenever anyone mentions foggy afternoons near that agency, they still whisper, ‘Did you hear that eerie hum?’
3. One day after work, a regular walked into Riordan Insurance Agency and asked curiously, ‘Why does Mr. Riordan always seem to be counting penguins?’ A delivery driver overheard him one day and joked, ‘Maybe he’s planning his retirement in Antarctica!’ Soon enough, everyone started bringing in pictures of penguins as jokes. When Mr. Riordan finally confessed, it turned out he was just organizing his collection for an upcoming charity auction. The whole town laughed, but they also raised thousands for a good cause.
4. One autumn evening, a young boy walking home from school passed by Riordan Insurance Agency. Suddenly, he stopped in surprise—an old clock on the wall seemed to be ticking backwards. Curious, the boy approached the window and peered inside. To his amusement, an elderly man behind the counter was frantically rewinding a tape recorder, muttering, 'No no, that's not how it happened!' Turning around, he smiled warmly and said, 'Just another day at Riordan Insurance Agency.'
