About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Farmers Insurance office closed its doors, a faint humming sound would occasionally drift out from behind the locked gates. A delivery driver noticed it first and mentioned it casually during lunch break with other employees. One day, an intern decided to investigate and followed the sound to an old filing cabinet. Inside was a tape recorder playing a loop of happy cows mooing. It turned out that every evening, an elderly janitor recorded cow noises to calm himself after a long day. The story became a local joke among neighbors who started sending him milk cartons filled with cookies.

2. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an unusual note taped to the door of Farmers Insurance: ‘Your claim is being processed—please wait patiently.’ He laughed it off until he saw the same message on his car later that day. The next day, while delivering packages, he found another note in his neighbor’s mailbox: ‘We’re almost done processing your claim—just one more stop needed!’ By lunchtime, everyone in town had received similar notes. Turns out, someone had accidentally printed out too many claims forms and decided to have some fun. The whole thing ended with a big laugh and a free lunch for the delivery guy.

3. Late one afternoon, while passing by the Farmers Insurance building, a neighbor noticed something peculiar. The usually quiet street seemed filled with a soft, rhythmic tapping sound, like someone gently drumming on wood from inside. Curious, she peered through the window and saw only an empty desk. Then, out of nowhere, a voice said, ‘Knock knock.’ Startled, she jumped back but realized it was just a delivery driver adjusting his package. They both laughed, and that’s when they heard it again—a faint tap-tap coming from the ceiling. Turns out, an office plant had fallen asleep on its leaves!’

4. Late one autumn evening, as a delivery driver approached the Farmers Insurance building, he caught a strange whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the open window. Curious, he followed his nose into the empty office and found an old lady in a plaid sweater, busily baking cookies for her grandchildren who lived across town. ‘They’re my secret recipe,’ she smiled warmly, offering him a freshly baked cookie. The driver accepted it gratefully, realizing that sometimes the best insurance is a little kindness.
