About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes, he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the Allstate office. Curious, he peered through the window and saw Mr. Brehm dancing in perfect sync with some unseen music. The delivery driver watched for several minutes before deciding to join him, tapping his foot along to the invisible beat. By lunchtime, half the neighborhood had gathered outside, laughing and swaying to Mr. Brehm’s mysterious tune. It turned out that the humming was just his favorite old jukebox playing in the basement—an unexpected surprise for everyone who stopped by the agency that day.
2. One day, after work, a salesman stopped by the Allstate agency to pick up some documents. As he walked through the empty office, he noticed a strange shadow flickering on the wall. Curious, he followed it and found himself staring at a life-sized silhouette of Tim Brehm dancing around on the ceiling. The salesman rubbed his eyes, thinking maybe it was just an optical illusion. Suddenly, the silhouette started singing ‘I Believe I Can Fly’ in a deep baritone voice. Startled, he ran back downstairs only to find everyone else had already left for the day. The next morning, when he arrived early, there was no sign of any dancing mannequin—just a note from Tim Brehm: “Next time you see something unusual, check your assumptions.”
3. One afternoon, a little girl followed her mom into the Allstate office, curious as she pointed at a strange shadow moving across the ceiling. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'what’s that?' Her mother smiled and said softly, ‘That’s just Mr. Brehm, honey—our friendly insurance agent. He likes to do his stretches during lunchtime.’ The little girl giggled, thinking it was quite an adventure, while outside in the hallway, Mr. Brehm finished his stretch with a satisfied yawn.
4. One night, a regular pulled up to the Allstate parking lot in his truck. As he walked towards the entrance, he noticed something peculiar—a strange box sitting next to the dumpster. Curious, he picked it up and found it weighed nothing at all. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was just an old cardboard box filled with air. He shrugged, threw it back into the dumpster, and continued inside. Later that evening, while filling out his insurance form, he discovered that his monthly premium had mysteriously dropped—thanks to some clever marketing trick by Tim Brehm.
