About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At GEICO’s downtown branch, a regular noticed something odd one morning. Among the usual paperwork and pens on the counter lay an old coin purse, its leather worn smooth from years of use. Curious, he picked it up and found an old photograph inside—a smiling couple holding a baby, dated decades ago. The next day, another employee spotted an antique watch, then a neighbor left an ancient key ring. Turned out GEICO’s office was like a time capsule, filled with forgotten treasures from past customers. Eventually, the manager set up a little exhibit, and every week someone new dropped off their long-lost keepsakes.

2. At GEICO headquarters, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does our parking lot always seem to tilt when I drive through?’ An old janitor, overhearing the question, winked and whispered, 'Oh, that’s because it’s actually level—just everyone else is leaning!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another GEICO twist of perspective.

3. A neighbor passing by GEICO's office building one day heard an unusual sound coming from inside. It was like someone was playing the world's smallest xylophone. Curious, the neighbor peeked through a window and saw only a small monkey sitting on a desk, diligently tapping out numbers on a calculator. 'GEICO’s new mascot?' he thought. The monkey then looked up, smiled broadly, and said in a tiny voice, ‘Just checking rates for monkeys!’

4. At GEICO’s downtown branch, a customer exclaimed, ‘Did you see that squirrel just ran across the counter?’ The agent calmly replied, ‘Yes, sir, I saw him too. He must be our new mascot!’ A delivery driver chimed in, ‘Maybe he’s trying to tell us something?’ A regular from the neighborhood chuckled, ‘Probably just wants some nuts.’ The squirrel scurried off with everyone laughing, and business as usual resumed.
