About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached State Farm’s Jim Tom office, he swore he heard someone laughing in an empty hallway. The sound was faint but unmistakably human—like a child giggling just out of sight. Curious, the driver peeked around the corner and saw nothing but dusty shadows. Just as he turned back, though, he thought he felt a gentle tap on his shoulder. Startled, he spun around—and found himself face-to-face with a small, smiling pug named Jim Tom Jr., who wagged his tail and said, ‘Hi there, stranger!’
2. While walking home one night, a neighbor noticed an odd glow coming from behind State Farm's Jim Tom sign. Curious, they peered inside and saw only a friendly smile from a familiar face—until they realized it wasn't there before. The neighbor called out, ‘Jim Tom, is that you?’ A deep voice replied, ‘No, just a regular checking on our sign.’ They both laughed, realizing it was just a reflection from a passing car. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the glowing sign, everyone would wink and say, ‘Ah, must be Jim Tom paying another visit!’
3. In the dim light of dawn, a little girl pointed excitedly at something in front of State Farm's Jim Tom office. "Mama, look! It's dancing!” The mother squinted into the morning haze and saw nothing but an ordinary street sign swaying gently in the breeze. With a smile, she knelt down and said, 'No darling, that’s just Jim Tom’s sign waving hello.' The little girl giggled and took her hand, skipping off towards home, while passersby chuckled and shook their heads—another day, another urban legend born.
4. On a particularly stormy afternoon, when lightning crackled outside and power flickered within State Farm's Jim Tom office, a lone employee heard an eerie humming sound. It seemed to come from deep inside the building, growing louder with each passing minute. Curious, she followed the noise until it led her to an old filing cabinet. Inside was a tiny radio tuned to some obscure station playing nothing but old-time jazz. As she turned off the radio, everyone in the office burst into laughter—turns out it had been stuck on repeat all day. The moral of the story? Sometimes even insurance offices need a little musical break.
