About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Mr. Fox always leave early from work?’ Mr. Fox smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Oh, he’s just off to his secret garden where he grows the best tomatoes in town!' The delivery driver shook his head with a smile, thinking that maybe some secrets are better left unsolved.

2. In the quiet town of Maplewood, children often pointed and giggled when passing the unassuming office building known as Fox Insurance and Investments. For no apparent reason, every Tuesday afternoon, a small tabby cat would appear on the second-floor balcony, watching intently as employees filed out for lunch. One day, an elderly gentleman arrived for his insurance renewal. After chatting with Mr. Fox, he asked curiously, 'And who might be that adorable feline friend perched up there?' With a twinkle in his eye, Mr. Fox replied, 'Oh, that's just our resident Tuesday tourist.' The man nodded wisely, thinking it was some sort of clever marketing ploy—until he saw the cat wave goodbye as everyone left.

3. At lunchtime, an unusual announcement echoed through the office building: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that Mr. Fox has just purchased an entire herd of ducks for our reception area.’ Word quickly spread throughout the building—some employees thought it was a prank, while others were curious. By afternoon, everyone had gathered in the lobby to see the spectacle. To their surprise, Mr. Fox emerged with a small group of quacking ducks, leading them gracefully into the reception area. From then on, whenever someone needed cheering up or there was a particularly stressful day, they’d simply say, 'Bring out the ducks!'

4. At closing time, a regular customer announced loudly, 'I wonder if Mr. Fox knows that his office chair leaves a trail of dollar bills every night?' A delivery driver overheard the comment and joked, ‘Actually, I saw him counting them last week!’ The next morning, everyone found a small pile of cash outside Mr. Fox’s door—an anonymous gift from someone who appreciated his hard work.
