State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when State Farm’s neon sign flickered on, a young boy passing by would always stop and stare in wonder. His dog, usually too busy sniffing around, would suddenly perk up its ears and gaze intently at the glowing letters. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to the building and noticed something odd—all the lights were off except for State Farm’s sign. Curious, he got out of his truck and walked over. Just then, the neon glow changed from blue to red, startling him so much that he dropped his coffee. A nearby neighbor heard the commotion and came outside laughing, explaining it was just an old trick the sign played occasionally.

2. Late one afternoon, while driving past State Farm's office, an old man noticed something odd: whenever he slowed down and looked up, the agent inside seemed to wave back. Curious, the old man pulled over and walked into the office. The agent smiled warmly and asked if he needed help. ‘I just wanted to say thanks,’ said the man, ‘for waving at me every time I drove by.’ The agent laughed softly: ‘That’s because you always honked your horn when you saw me!’

3. A delivery driver pulled up to State Farm one morning and saw an unusual sight: ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘that bird is sitting right on top of your sign!’ The driver chuckled and drove off, thinking nothing more of it. Later that day, a regular stopped by to ask if they could borrow some salt. When asked why, he replied casually, 'Oh, I saw your sign was a bit dusty.'

4. Have you ever seen an insurance agent turn into a squirrel? One day, after work hours, a neighbor passing by State Farm’s empty lot spotted something odd scurrying across the grass. Curious, they followed it and found themselves face-to-face with an unlikely sight—a small furry creature wearing a tie and holding a clipboard! It chirped something incomprehensible before bounding away. To this day, locals joke that State Farm has its own wildlife division.
