About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Michael Mares Agency and asked, ‘Do you know why they call it an insurance agency?’ The owner thought for a moment and replied, ‘No, I don’t.’ The delivery driver grinned and said, ‘Because if you didn’t have one, you’d be out of business!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the neighbor who happened to be watering his roses across the street.
2. One day, an old lady approached the receptionist and asked, 'Excuse me, do you know where I can get a policy that covers ghost sightings?' The receptionist smiled and replied, ‘We don’t offer such policies here.’ The old lady nodded wisely and said, ‘That’s okay, dear. I was just checking. By the way, did you hear about the new ghostbusting agency down the street?’ Everyone in the office shook their heads. She winked and added, ‘It’s quite the talk of the town!’
3. One afternoon, a neighbor knocked on the agency’s door and asked, ‘Hey, do you guys ever get mail for someone named Fortune?’ The agent shook his head and replied, 'No, never.' The neighbor smiled sheepishly and said, 'Oh, sorry, must be my mistake,' then turned around and walked away. A few minutes later, there was another knock. This time it was a delivery driver holding a package addressed to Mr. Fortune. Everyone had a good laugh that day.
4. One foggy morning, a taxi driver slowed down in front of Michael Mares Agency and called out, ‘Excuse me, but is it normal for your office to be so quiet?’ The receptionist looked up from her computer with a smile and replied, 'Oh, it's just our usual quiet time.' The taxi driver nodded thoughtfully and drove off into the misty morning. Later that day, a delivery driver remarked to his neighbor, 'Did you hear about Michael Mares' agency? Apparently, they only work when they're feeling inspired!' And everyone laughed, knowing it was just another one of those mysterious urban legends.
