About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside State Farm and noticed something odd—an old lady in a wheelchair was waving frantically from the window. ‘Who’s that?’ he asked nobody in particular. ‘I’m Anne!’ she called out, pointing to an ancient sign on the wall. ‘I work here! Just having my morning coffee.’ The delivery driver looked around awkwardly before laughing. ‘Next time you see someone waving,’ Anne winked, ‘maybe it’s just your friendly neighborhood insurance lady saying hello.’

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up outside State Farm and noticed something peculiar: an old lady in a wheelchair waving frantically from the sidewalk. ‘Ma’am,’ he called out, ‘do you need help?’ She replied, ‘No, sonny, I’m just here every Wednesday for my free doughnut!’ As it turned out, Anne was indeed a regular visitor—every Wednesday without fail. The delivery guy soon learned that her weekly ritual wasn’t limited to doughnuts alone; she also brought along a stack of cookies for everyone in the office. State Farm employees looked forward to Anne’s visits as much as they did their morning coffee.

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up outside State Farm and noticed something strange—a sign in the window read ‘Anne Sandoval, Agent Since 1987,’ but when he looked closer, the date kept changing. Finally, someone went inside and asked Anne about it. She smiled and said, 'It's just my little trick—every time I sell an insurance policy, the year on that sign moves forward.' The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh and thought, 'At least she’s good for business!'

4. One evening, a delivery driver pulled up outside State Farm and noticed something curious—a small bird had somehow managed to get stuck inside the building's security gate. The delivery driver gently opened the gate, coaxed the flustered bird out, and watched it fly off into the sunset. The next day, a neighbor brought in a box of freshly baked cookies as thanks for saving their feathered friend. Everyone laughed when they realized the cookies were from State Farm’s cafeteria.
