About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the parking lot of American Family Insurance. Among the usual paperwork and boxes, there lay an old, dusty coin collection. Curious, he picked it up—only to discover that every coin seemed to bear the exact logo of the company. The coins were so numerous and identical that no one could believe their eyes. Soon enough, rumors spread like wildfire through the neighborhood. A neighbor quipped, 'Maybe they should just put these coins on their website!' And thus, the legend grew that American Family Insurance had an entire underground treasure trove.

2. One day, an employee asked curiously: ‘Why does our office always get exactly one claim form every Tuesday?’ Another employee suggested with a smile, ‘Maybe it’s because our claims are so boring that only one comes on Tuesdays!’ Soon enough, everyone started calling Tuesdays ‘Claim Day,’ and whenever someone received a form, they’d joke, “Guess who’s having an exciting week!” It turned out that the excitement of dealing with just one claim was better than none at all.

3. A new employee started noticing strange things after hours. Every night, someone would leave a mysterious package outside the building's back door. Finally, the curious worker decided to peek inside one of the packages. Out popped a note: ‘Forgot your lunch again!’ Turned out, it was just a friendly neighborhood prankster leaving free sandwiches every day.’

4. Late one night, a security guard heard an eerie voice over the intercom: ‘Your premium is due today.’ He checked the screen—no one was there. Curious, he followed the sound and found only an empty office. The next day, everyone in the building received a letter reminding them of their policy renewal—including a free doughnut with every invoice. It turned out that the new intern had accidentally programmed the intercom as his coffee break reminder.
