State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm autumn day in downtown Chicago when a State Farm agent noticed something peculiar happening outside his office window. A delivery driver kept arriving early every morning, but not with packages—with potted plants. The agent decided to investigate and followed the driver one morning. Turned out, he was delivering not just any plants, but tiny succulents shaped like little hamburgers! It seemed that a neighboring restaurant had hired him to decorate their front steps for Halloween. The whole office laughed it off as a friendly prank until they realized they were all hungry.

2. It was a quiet Monday morning in downtown Atlanta when a State Farm agent noticed something peculiar. As he opened the door of the office building, a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafted through the air. Curious, he followed the scent down the hallway and found it coming from the empty conference room. Inside, sitting at one of the tables, was an elderly gentleman wearing a tweed suit and holding a cup of tea. He looked up with a smile and said, 'Good morning, sonny! I believe these are for you.' The agent accepted the warm plate, puzzled but grateful, realizing that sometimes life insures itself with kindness.

3. In a small town in Texas, a little girl pointed excitedly as she walked past the State Farm office one afternoon. ‘Mama,’ she said, ‘look at that cloud—it’s shaped like Uncle Bob!’ Her mother glanced up and saw nothing but a normal cloud until she noticed something odd—every time someone entered or exited the building, the cloud shifted shape. A few minutes later, an old man emerged from the office, whistling cheerfully. The cloud instantly morphed into his favorite hat. His wife looked up and laughed, “Oh, you’re always finding shapes in clouds, dear.” He grinned back, “Well, honey, it sure beats waiting for my pension!”

4. In a bustling office park near Seattle, a delivery driver pulled up to the State Farm office one rainy afternoon. As he stepped out of his truck, he noticed something peculiar on the pavement—a bright red umbrella, perfectly shaped like a smiling face. The delivery driver picked it up and saw that someone had drawn a big smiley face on it with marker. He chuckled, thinking maybe a neighbor was trying to cheer everyone’s day. Placing it back in his truck, he drove off—only to spot another identical umbrella an hour later, this time waving ‘Hi!’ as he passed.
