About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the small town of Maplewood, whenever a delivery driver approached Walaa Insurance Agency after sunset, their dog would start barking uncontrollably—even though the office had been closed for years. One night, a delivery driver noticed an old poster in the window advertising ‘Free Cookies with Any Policy Purchase.’ Curious, he knocked on the door, only to be greeted by a friendly voice from inside: ‘We’re open now, but cookies are sold out!’ Turns out, it was just Walaa’s neighbor, who loved pranks and kept the place ‘open’ during off-hours.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Walaa Insurance Agency and shouted, ‘Hey, did you know your mailbox is talking?’ The receptionist looked outside curiously but saw nothing unusual. Smiling, she replied, 'No, our mailbox isn't talking.' Just then, an old neighbor walked by and said, 'I heard it too!' Turning back inside, she found everyone in the office laughing at her desk.
3. A regular customer entered Walaa Insurance Agency one afternoon and asked the receptionist with a straight face, 'Do you sell policies against bad weather?' The receptionist smiled politely and replied, ‘We do offer various types of insurance, but not specifically for bad weather.’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in, soaked from head to toe, and said, ‘I’ll take two policies—one for good weather and one for when it’s really pouring!’
4. At dusk, a little girl walked past Walaa Insurance Agency and noticed something odd—an owl perched on top of the sign, staring right back at her. The girl tilted her head curiously. The owl blinked once, then another time, as if trying to communicate something. Suddenly, it hooted softly and took off into the night sky, leaving behind only a puzzled smile on the little girl’s face. To this day, locals say that whenever you see an owl outside Walaa Insurance Agency, it means good luck is coming your way.
