About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Ekberg Insurance, a delivery driver once received an unusual message over the intercom: ‘Your package has been delayed due to an act of God.’ Everyone laughed until they realized it wasn’t a joke. Later that week, when a neighbor came in for insurance quotes, she asked with a straight face, ‘Does my cat count as property damaged by an act of God?’ Everyone burst out laughing—except the receptionist, who had just finished updating the company policy.

2. At Ekberg Insurance, a sign in the lobby began flashing late one night: ‘We’re out of policies—please come back later.’ A delivery driver arrived early next morning with an emergency shipment—a single policy document. The entire office crowded around it like kids at Christmas. Turns out, someone had accidentally deleted all the policies from the database during lunch break. Ekberg Insurance was saved by a last-minute printout and a lot of coffee.

3. At Ekberg Insurance, a customer asked the receptionist one day: 'Do you really keep all those claims on your shelves?' The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘Of course not, sir. We just stack them in our memory like good stories.’ A delivery driver overheard and nodded knowingly, adding, ‘That’s why they never lose any claims—because everyone here remembers everything!’

4. At Ekberg Insurance, every morning around sunrise, employees would hear a soft tinkling sound coming from the empty office next door. No one could explain it, but soon everyone started leaving their desks just a little earlier. One day, an enthusiastic new employee arrived early and decided to investigate. She followed the sound into the neighboring office—and found nothing but a tiny wind chime hanging from the ceiling. Turns out, the previous owner had left it as a quirky decoration. From then on, everyone laughed off the mystery, except for occasional giggles when someone forgot their coffee mug near the window.}
