About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when Allstate’s parking lot should’ve been empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A lone umbrella swayed in the breeze, its handle glinting like silver in the moonlight. Curious, he approached it, only to see an old acquaintance waving from behind the umbrella—none other than Mr. Johnson, their friendly neighborhood handyman. ‘Thought you could use some company on your rounds,’ he grinned, holding up another umbrella. The two laughed, and before parting ways, Mr. Johnson teased, “Guess I’ll be seeing you around again, Allstate!’

2. Late one Friday afternoon, an Allstate employee was locking up for the weekend when he noticed something odd in the rearview mirror. A familiar face—a neighborhood kid—was standing outside the building, seemingly lost and staring right through the glass. The employee waved, but the boy didn’t respond. Curious, he unlocked the door and approached cautiously. Turns out, the kid had been waiting for his dad’s usual Thursday package delivery—and it was Friday already. After a quick explanation, they both laughed, and the kid promised to tell his dad never to miss his weekly surprise.}

3. On a stormy midnight, when even ghosts were hiding from the thunder, a delivery truck pulled into Allstate's loading dock. The sky outside was pitch-black, but inside, something unusual was happening—boxes were moving on their own. Suddenly, one box labeled ‘Free Insurance Advice’ opened and out popped an old man in a trench coat, offering his services for free. Startled, everyone laughed—it turned out he was just a neighbor’s parrot. Since then, Allstate employees keep a close eye on the boxes during storms.

4. Late one Friday afternoon, an Allstate employee was locking up for the weekend when a familiar voice called out from behind him: ‘Hey, don’t forget to check that umbrella!’ The man turned around with a smile, revealing himself to be just another concerned neighbor. They both had a good laugh over it, and the employee promised to double-check everything before leaving. As he walked home, he thought maybe Allstate should hire more friendly neighbors instead of security guards.
