About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Allstate’s lobby usually quiets down, a delivery driver noticed something odd: an old man in a trench coat kept appearing on the surveillance footage, standing motionless near the front desk. Curious, the delivery driver played back the tape again and again until one night he saw the old man wave slightly before disappearing into thin air. From then on, whenever someone asked about the mysterious figure, everyone at Allstate just smiled and said, ‘Oh, that’s our new ghost employee—always punctual!’
2. Late one night, while processing claims in the quiet Allstate office, an adjuster swore he heard someone whispering behind him. The room was empty, but the voice kept repeating: 'It's not your fault.' Curious, the adjuster turned around—and saw only a dusty old clock on the wall. Suddenly, his colleague popped up from behind the counter with a mischievous grin: ‘Hey, it’s not my fault you missed that clock!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing the prankster was just a regular who thought it would be fun to scare the night crew.
3. One day after school, little Timmy walked past the Allstate office and heard a strange noise coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an employee talking to himself, pointing at the ceiling and laughing. The man was just rearranging papers, but every time he moved something, he’d exclaim ‘Eureka!’ Finally, he pointed up and said, ‘I’ve got it—we’re out of donuts!’ Little Timmy burst into laughter and ran home to tell his mom. Since then, everyone around calls that place ‘Donut Insurance’.
4. Late one morning, as a delivery driver approached the Allstate building, he saw a squirrel frantically running up the side of the office tower. Curious, the driver watched until the little guy reached the top and scurried inside through an open window. A moment later, a neighbor emerged, shaking his head and muttering something about ‘another damn squirrel’—and that was how the office got its new mascot.
