About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to State Auto Insurance and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you know why your building looks like it’s smiling?’ Everyone just shrugged. The receptionist tilted her head curiously. ‘I’ve never noticed,’ she replied with a smile. A few minutes later, an old neighbor walked in and said, “Because it needs a good dentist!” Everyone burst out laughing, realizing that the building’s facade resembled a big toothy grin after all.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to State Auto Insurance one afternoon with a package in hand. As he walked into the lobby, he noticed something peculiar on the reception desk—a small, dusty teddy bear wearing an old-fashioned suit. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and placed it on his shoulder. Suddenly, the teddy bear started humming an old tune and began waving its little arms. Everyone in the office burst out laughing, including the usually stern manager. From then on, whenever someone delivered a package there was always a smile—and sometimes even a dance—around State Auto Insurance.

3. One day, an unusual message blared over State Auto Insurance’s intercom: ‘Attention all drivers! If you’ve ever been in an accident involving a unicorn, please come forward immediately.’ A confused delivery driver was the first to respond, claiming he’d hit a unicorn while making a late-night run. Next came a neighbor who insisted she had seen one galloping down Main Street last week. The intercom buzzed with laughter until finally, a regular customer raised his hand and said, 'I once saw a unicorn too, but it was just my wife's new car!'

4. A delivery driver pulled up to State Auto Insurance one morning with a box marked ‘Important’. As he approached the counter, he muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t try to insure this thing.’ The clerk looked puzzled as she opened the box and exclaimed, 'What on earth is this?' Turned out it was a live turtle that had crawled into the package. A neighbor later joked, 'At least now they can offer pet insurance!'
