About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In a small town in the Midwest, a regular customer at State Farm Insurance kept noticing something peculiar. Every time he visited the counter after midnight, the agent’s pen seemed to move on its own across the paperwork. Finally curious, our regular asked if anyone else had noticed it. The next night, several employees watched as the pen drew a perfect smiley face on his application form. Turned out, an old employee prank was still alive and well—just waiting for someone new to notice.
2. On a foggy morning in rural Illinois, an early riser noticed something peculiar outside State Farm's office window. A delivery driver kept arriving exactly at dawn, even though the post office opened only after sunrise. Curious, the regular approached the driver one misty day and asked, ‘How do you manage to be here before dawn?’ With a twinkle in his eye, the driver replied, ‘Simple, sir—my watch is five minutes fast.’ The two shared a hearty laugh, realizing that sometimes it’s not what’s on the clock but how you interpret time.
3. In a quiet neighborhood of Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to State Farm Insurance one morning. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd—a small, brightly colored umbrella had rolled onto the pavement. Curious, he picked it up and found it wasn’t just any umbrella—it seemed brand-new, with no owner in sight. Smiling, he popped open the umbrella, only for it to unfold into an enormous canopy bigger than his truck. Startled, he dropped it—and suddenly, everyone around started laughing as it opened over their heads like a giant colorful parasol. Turns out, someone had accidentally delivered a promotional giveaway instead of insurance documents. The delivery driver became a local hero that day, known ever since as ‘Mr. Big Umbrella.’
4. In a sleepy suburb of California, a curious neighbor asked one day: ‘Why does it always seem like State Farm agents are the first ones to spot UFOs?’ Another neighbor overheard and joked, ‘Maybe they’re just good at spotting customers in distress!’ A delivery driver quipped back, ‘Or maybe aliens know they’ll get better coverage with State Farm.’ The story spread, becoming part of local lore until finally, someone from State Farm headquarters sent out an official statement: “UFO sightings are not covered under our policies.” And that was that—until another neighbor saw an agent waving excitedly at something in the sky.
