About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. On an unusually foggy morning in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to AAA Insurance. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something strange—all the clocks inside seemed to be frozen at exactly 8:19 AM. The delivery driver shrugged and thought it was just another quirky thing about old buildings in Chicago. He went inside, did his business, and left without giving it much more thought. Later that day, as he drove home through the same foggy streets, he saw an elderly gentleman waving frantically from across the street. ‘Hey,’ called the man, ‘do you know what time it is?’ The driver smiled and replied, “It’s 8:19 forever, sir.’
2. At night, when AAA Insurance offices were closing down, employees heard a strange voice over the intercom: ‘Your policy is about to expire… please renew immediately.’ It sounded like their boss’s voice, but no one was around. One day, a delivery driver came in complaining that his package kept getting delayed because someone inside the office was constantly calling him with reminders. Turns out it was just an old voicemail from the boss, playing on loop due to a technical glitch. Everyone had a good laugh—except for the poor guy whose package finally arrived two days late.
3. In a small town in Ohio, a regular stopped by AAA Insurance one afternoon and asked, ‘Do you ever get customers who leave their cars here for weeks without paying?’ The agent smiled knowingly. ‘Oh yes,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Once a delivery driver left his truck here for three whole months—we almost named it after him!’ The regular laughed heartily, glad that no one had taken his car hostage.
4. Late one autumn night, a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the dimly lit parking lot of AAA Insurance. Suddenly, he noticed a shadowy figure darting between cars—only it seemed to vanish into thin air. Curious, the driver followed the ghostly shape until it led him to an old janitor’s closet. Inside, he found only a mischievous neighbor rearranging boxes for fun. From that day on, whenever someone asked about the ‘haunted’ office, everyone just smiled and said, 'It’s all in good fun!'
