State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At closing time one night, an employee heard a voice over the intercom: ‘State Farm will always be here for you—even if we’re not.’ The next morning, no one could remember who said it. Soon after, whenever someone from outside delivered packages or fixed things around the building, they’d hear whispers that State Farm was watching them through unseen eyes. One day, a new delivery driver asked aloud, ‘Who’s there?’ A quiet voice replied, ‘We’re just checking on our good neighbor,’ causing everyone to laugh and realize it was probably their imagination playing tricks.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside State Farm’s headquarters. As he parked his truck, he swore he saw an old man waving from behind the building's large sign. Curious, he walked closer—but when he turned around, no one was there. The delivery driver shrugged it off as just another urban legend until his colleague mentioned seeing the same figure that evening. Together they decided to investigate further, only to discover that their neighbor had been using the giant sign as his personal wave-off spot for years. The end result? A new neighborhood tradition and plenty of good-natured teasing.

3. Late one autumn afternoon, a neighbor walking their dog past State Farm's office building caught a peculiar scent—something like warm cookies baking on a Sunday morning, but coming from nowhere. Curious, they followed the aroma inside and found an empty conference room filled with freshly baked chocolate chip cookies. A friendly voice called out from behind the counter: 'Cookies for everyone!' Turns out, it was just a regular delivering some treats for staff appreciation day.

4. Late one autumn afternoon, a neighbor walking his dog past State Farm's office building noticed something odd. The canine seemed unusually excited, sniffing frantically around the corner of the building. Curious, the man followed the commotion and saw an ordinary delivery driver emerging from behind the corner, holding a large package. ‘What’s got your tail wagging, boy?’ asked the driver, scratching the dog behind the ear. The animal immediately calmed down, wagging its tail lazily as if nothing had happened.
