About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an American Family Insurance agent received a peculiar phone call from a delivery driver. ‘I keep seeing these strange messages on your building’s security camera,’ he said. The agent glanced up at the old brick office and noticed something odd indeed—an animated shadow of a smiling family seemed to dance across the wall every time someone walked through the lobby. The agent shrugged it off as just another quirky urban legend until one day his own daughter pointed out that their family photo had mysteriously appeared on the same spot in the shadow show. Turns out, the janitor was using an old projector to entertain himself during lunch breaks—and everyone agreed it was way better than any corporate motivational poster.

2. One afternoon, while loading boxes into his truck, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the corner of the American Family Insurance parking lot. Curious, he bent down and picked up a small envelope addressed to ‘Mr. Luckiest Person Alive.’ Inside was a note reading: ‘Congratulations on your upcoming lottery win!’ The delivery driver quickly realized it wasn’t real—just another prank from their nosy neighbor who loved practical jokes. With a smile, he slipped the envelope back into the box and drove off, muttering under his breath, 'Next time I'll believe you when you say you're an alien.'

3. In the dimly lit lobby of American Family Insurance, a small boy pointed excitedly towards the ceiling. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look at that shadow—it’s dancing!’ His mother squinted up and saw nothing but flickering shadows from old ceiling lights. She smiled down gently, saying, 'Oh honey, that's just the dance of light and dust.' The boy nodded thoughtfully then turned back, whispering, 'But Mom, I still see it moving!' And with a laugh, she replied, 'Well, maybe it's just your imagination having a party today.'

4. While waiting for his appointment, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t lose my paperwork again.’ Suddenly, the receptionist leaned over and whispered back, ‘It’s not our papers you should worry about today…’ The receptionist grinned mischievously. ‘Your wife just called—she wants to know if you’re still coming for dinner tonight!’ The man blinked in surprise, then smiled sheepishly. ‘Guess I better get this sorted quickly,’ he said, laughing as he rushed off to see the agent.
