About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In an old insurance office in downtown Chicago, employees often heard strange noises late at night. One day, a young boy visiting his father pointed to a corner and whispered, ‘Daddy, what’s that shadow doing there?’ His dad looked around sheepishly and said, 'Oh, that's just Ryan Turner's ghost. He used to work here but got fired for always dozing off during meetings.' The little boy giggled, 'Can I see him again tomorrow?' His dad replied, 'Nah, he's only here when there's a slow day.'

2. At Ryan Turner Specialty, a young boy visiting his father for insurance renewal noticed something odd: every time he entered the lobby, the ceiling fan seemed to slow down and speed up on its own. Finally, curious about this phenomenon, the boy asked his dad if anyone else had noticed it. His dad just smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not the fan—it’s Mr. Turner adjusting the speed himself.’ Turns out, the owner, Mr. Turner, liked to tweak the fan’s settings whenever he saw someone waiting too long in the lobby.

3. In a quiet corner of Ryan Turner Specialty, a delivery driver once spotted something odd on the loading dock—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. Nobody claimed it, but everyone agreed it looked like it belonged to someone important. Over time, rumors spread that the box contained everything from secret recipes for their best policy packages to hidden treasure. One day, an excited neighbor knocked on the door, claiming he could decode the mysterious seal. After much fussing and puffing, he declared, 'It’s addressed to Mr. Turner's cat!' Everyone laughed so hard they almost forgot what the box actually was.

4. In a small town in the Midwest, a regular asked curiously one day: ‘Why does it smell like cookies every Wednesday afternoon?’ The bartender smiled mysteriously and whispered, 'It's because Ryan Turner, our friendly neighborhood insurance agent, bakes these amazing chocolate chip cookies for his colleagues on Wednesdays.' The regular nodded knowingly, thinking he finally had an answer—until he saw Ryan's truck pull up with a fresh batch of dough instead of cookies.
