About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At State Farm headquarters in Bloomington, Illinois, an office janitor overheard a strange conversation one morning. ‘Did you hear?’ said a delivery driver to another employee, ‘the claims adjusters are now using UFO sighting reports for flood damage investigations!’ The janitor shrugged it off as just another urban legend until his neighbor casually mentioned seeing a flying saucer last week. Turns out, everyone in Bloomington was talking about it—even the weather lady on TV joked that aliens might be causing more rain than El Niño!

2. At State Farm’s branch in downtown Denver, a delivery driver noticed something odd one rainy afternoon. The sign outside read: ‘Insurance policies now cover acts of God.’ Upon noticing the sign, a curious delivery driver asked his coworker if it meant they could claim rain delays as force majeure. A regular customer overheard and quipped, 'Finally, an insurance policy that covers what I always forget to insure!' Everyone laughed, and the sign became a local joke until someone suggested removing it for fear of attracting too many prank claims.

3. At State Farm's branch in sunny Miami, a delivery driver parked outside for lunch break when he heard a peculiar sound—like someone whispering ‘claim denied’ under their breath. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw an old man watering his garden next door. The man waved cheerfully and said, 'Claim denied? Nah, just my sprinkler talking!' They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever it was time for lunch, the delivery guy joined the neighbor for a chat over freshly watered flowers.

4. In a State Farm branch in bustling New York City, a delivery driver parked outside for lunch and overheard two pigeons arguing about deductibles. One pigeon insisted on a ‘comprehensive’ plan, while the other preferred ‘collision only.’ The delivery driver laughed so hard he almost forgot his sandwich. As he walked away, a neighbor commented, ‘Guess those birds know more about insurance than most people!’
