About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an old man walked into Northside Insurance Agency and asked for a policy on something unusual—a smile. The agent raised an eyebrow but agreed to write it up. Since then, whenever someone enters or leaves the building, they swear they see people laughing without any apparent reason. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the agency’s door, grumbling about his late shift. As he opened the door, he caught himself smiling broadly—no joke! A neighbor passing by commented, ‘Did you hear? That place makes everyone happy!’ The agent just shrugged and said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘That’s what I get for insuring smiles.’

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the Northside Insurance Agency with a truckload of boxes. As he unloaded, he noticed something odd in one of the crates—a small wooden chest, wrapped in old rope and covered in dust. Curious, he opened it and found inside a vintage typewriter, complete with a note that read: ‘For your office, enjoy!’ The delivery driver grinned, thinking he’d scored an awesome office gag. He took the typewriter upstairs, placed it on his boss’s desk, and announced: 'Sir, I found this antique treasure!' His boss looked up from his computer, blinked twice, then said, 'That’s not an antique, it's just our usual monthly report.'

3. One foggy afternoon, a neighbor stopped by Northside Insurance Agency and asked, ‘Do you sell policies against forgetting where you parked your car?’ The agent smiled and replied, 'Not yet, but I could write one for losing track of time!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in asking if they sold policies against delivering packages to the wrong address.'

4. A customer entered Northside Insurance Agency one stormy night, exclaiming, 'I just saw my policy float away!' The agent calmly replied, ‘Don’t worry, sir. Policies don’t float like that anymore—we’ve switched to digital copies.’ The man looked relieved and said, ‘Thank goodness for progress!’ A delivery driver overheard and quipped, ‘At least now I won’t lose my job when they start floating away too.’
