State Farm

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning in downtown Chicago, customers started noticing something peculiar outside State Farm's headquarters. A delivery driver kept arriving early with mysterious packages wrapped in old newspapers. Curious employees followed the packages and found inside them old copies of 'Chicago Tribune' from the 1980s—all neatly bundled together. Turned out it was just a prank by an enthusiastic new intern who thought he was helping the environment by recycling vintage newsprint. The whole office had a good laugh over it.

2. At night, when everyone had gone home, a delivery driver noticed strange lights flickering inside State Farm’s empty offices. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only glowing computer screens—left on by accident again. The next day, an embarrassed IT guy told him, ‘It’s not haunting, just our budgeting software running overtime.’

3. In the late afternoon shadows of downtown Los Angeles, a delivery driver pulled up to State Farm’s office building. ‘Hey,’ he said aloud, ‘what’s that sound?’ A soft humming filled the air as if someone was tuning an invisible piano. 'Must be the new AC unit,' thought the delivery driver, smiling. Just then, an old neighbor poked his head out and whispered, 'No, son, that's just State Farm saying hello.'

4. In the dead of winter, when snowflakes danced through the streetlights' glow, a delivery driver pulled up to State Farm's doorstep. As he stepped out, he heard a soft humming coming from inside—nothing like the usual quiet of an empty office building. Curious, he peered in and saw only a dimly lit room filled with old insurance documents and dusty trophies. Then, from behind an ancient filing cabinet, came a voice: 'Can I help you?' It was just an old janitor, humming along to his favorite Christmas carols while cleaning up after hours. The delivery driver laughed it off, shook hands, and wished him a merry holiday. Back outside, as he drove away, he thought maybe State Farm had its own secret tradition—a little seasonal cheer for everyone.
