About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when Amarillo's streets were quiet as a Sunday morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Amarillo National Bank. Something wasn't right—there was an eerie glow coming from inside. The delivery driver peered through the window and saw only rows upon rows of old safes, dusty ledgers, and a lone security guard dozing off with his headphones on. With a mischievous smile, he decided to ‘borrow’ one of the pens from the counter. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to the guard, who hadn’t even noticed him leave. The next day, everyone in town got a free pen from the mysterious Amarillo National Bank.’

2. One day, while counting coins in the vault, an old teller muttered, 'I wish these dollars could talk.' And suddenly, one crisp twenty-dollar bill said, 'Excuse me, ma’am, but I think you’ve got me mixed up with another twenty.' The old teller looked around, startled, and asked, ‘Who’s there?’ The twenty-dollar bill replied, ‘Right here, ma’am—just trying to get home.’ A young delivery driver overheard and laughed, saying, ‘Next time, just use your ATM card!’ They both shared a smile, realizing sometimes money talks louder than words.

3. In the early hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the bank's loading dock. As he unloaded crates, something glinted in the moonlight—a small, golden key nestled among the boxes. As he picked it up, a voice whispered from behind him: 'Hey, that’s mine!' Turned out to be just his neighbor, who’d left it on the truck earlier. The rest of the night was spent laughing and sharing coffee while discussing where else the key might fit.

4. In the early hours before dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to the bank’s loading dock with a truck full of cash boxes. As he unloaded, he noticed something odd: one box seemed heavier than it should be. Curious, he opened it and found nothing but an old photo album filled with pictures from the 1950s. Turned out, someone had accidentally packed their grandmother’s keepsakes instead of cash. The delivery driver chuckled as he drove away, thinking, ‘Guess Amarillo really does have everything!’
