About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Central Illinois town, a State Farm agent noticed something unusual outside his office window. A delivery driver kept arriving exactly at midnight, leaving packages that no one ever ordered. Curious, the agent followed the mysterious driver one night and discovered he was delivering pies to an old lady next door. Turned out she baked them herself but couldn’t see well enough to deliver them personally. Since then, everyone in town jokes that State Farm agents are secretly pie deliverymen too.

2. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the dimly lit State Farm office, puzzled by the flickering light in the empty building. Curious, he walked inside and found an old man dozing off behind the counter. ‘State Farm’s closed,’ said the man groggily, not even opening his eyes. The delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘I know, but I’ve got a package for you.’ They both shared a smile, and the old man finally woke up with a start—only to realize it was just another late-night prankster.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the dimly lit State Farm office. As he unlocked the door, a soft humming sound filled the air—like someone whistling an old folk tune. Curious, the driver followed the music inside. Inside, he found an elderly gentleman humming softly to himself as he sorted through stacks of paperwork. ‘Excuse me,’ said the driver politely. The man looked up with twinkling eyes and replied, “Just helping Mr. Insurance Man keep his good mood.” They both laughed, and from that day on, whenever there was a quiet evening at State Farm, you could hear gentle whistling coming from within.

4. At closing time in a quiet neighborhood, a State Farm agent noticed something peculiar. A small dog, usually timid around strangers, ran straight into his office, barking excitedly and pointing towards an empty desk. The agent followed the curious canine’s lead only to discover… nothing. Curious, the agent looked down and saw a tiny note stuck to the desk with ‘Free coffee today’ scribbled on it. Everyone laughed when they realized the dog was just delivering a friendly reminder from their favorite barista next door.
