About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Third Federal Bank, after hours, an old security guard noticed something peculiar. Every night, right before closing, a small dog would appear from nowhere and run straight for the vault door. The guard watched in amusement as the little pooch frantically tried to push it open. One night, while the guard was distracted, the dog managed to nudge the heavy door ajar just enough for a delivery driver to notice. ‘Hey,’ he said, scratching the dog’s head, ‘you’re pretty smart for a canine.’ Turned out, the dog belonged to a regular customer who’d been using the same trick for years—just never told anyone.

2. In the early morning fog outside Third Federal Bank, a delivery driver noticed something odd. As he approached the empty parking lot, he heard soft taps against the building's wall. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old pigeon tapping its beak on the window, trying to get in for some breakfast crumbs. The driver smiled, shook his head, and quietly walked away, leaving the bird to its morning ritual.

3. A regular customer, leaving Third Federal Bank one evening, muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they ever count that money right.’ Since then, some employees claim to hear whispers late at night, counting dollars softly. One foggy morning, a delivery driver arrived early and heard soft footsteps echoing inside. Peering around, he saw an old janitor meticulously placing dollar bills in neat rows. Turns out, it was just Mr. Jenkins, who liked to organize things before everyone else came. The next day, nobody mentioned anything strange anymore—except maybe a friendly wave from Mr. Jenkins as he left for home.

4. In the dim light of Third Federal’s parking lot, a delivery driver found something odd in his truck bed—a mysterious box wrapped in brown paper and sealed with twine. Curious, he opened it to discover… a stack of old newspapers? Turned out, it was just an April Fool’s prank from a neighboring office. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking, ‘At least I didn’t get stuck with another mystery package.’
