About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One stormy night, as customers huddled under umbrellas outside Jeff Haifley's State Farm office, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: 'Your policy just took a swim in Lake Michigan.' Inside, everyone froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. Turns out, it was just a prankster neighbor who’d hooked up a hose from his sprinkler system to the intercom line. A delivery driver later claimed he heard similar noises coming from another insurer’s office down the street—‘must be their version of rain checks!’
2. One day, while waiting for his claim check, a little boy noticed something peculiar—an insurance agent’s dog kept staring at an old clock on the wall, its tail wagging in perfect time with the ticking. Finally, the boy asked the agent, ‘Why does your dog care so much about that clock?’ The agent smiled and replied, ‘Oh, he doesn’t understand English yet, but apparently, he knows exactly when it’s time to collect!’
3. One morning, a young girl walking her dog passed Jeff Haifley’s State Farm office and noticed an unusual sight—a large, smiling paper clip hanging from the sign above the door. Curious, she asked her dad if it meant they could fix anything with just one small metal clip. Her father smiled and explained that it was just their logo, but added jokingly, ‘You never know, maybe that little clip can do magic!’ That day, Jeff himself saw them laughing outside and waved cheerfully, thinking perhaps his office had acquired some new superpowers after all.’
4. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Jeff Haifley’s State Farm office and found an unusual package on the loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in twine, with no return address. The driver took the box inside, curious but cautious. Inside was a note: 'To Jeff, from your future self—try this new policy!' It turned out to be a free sample of homemade cookies. Since then, whenever someone delivers something unexpected, they always ask, ‘Is it another cookie policy?’
