About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl walked into Happy State Bank and asked the teller for her piggybank back. The teller looked puzzled but handed it over. Since then, every day around lunchtime, the same piggybank would mysteriously appear on the counter, filled with coins and notes. Finally, one day an elderly gentleman approached the teller. ‘Is that your piggybank?’ he asked, holding up a battered old coin jar. The teller nodded. ‘I found it in my garden,’ he grinned. ‘It must’ve been blown there from the bank during the last windstorm.’ Everyone laughed as the mystery was solved—except perhaps the piggybank, which probably just wanted to be taken home again.
2. One day, a small dog trotted into Happy State Bank during closing hours. The receptionist, startled but amused, watched as it sniffed around the empty lobby before settling on an old coin jar on the counter. Curious, she picked up the jar and followed the little fellow outside. Together they discovered that the coin jar was filled with pennies from different decades—leftovers from a long-forgotten fundraiser. Word spread quickly, and soon enough, Happy State Bank became known for its quirky tradition of welcoming canine visitors.
3. One afternoon, while customers were withdrawing money from Happy State Bank, an unusual announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM is now accepting deposits.’ A few moments later, a delivery driver approached the teller window, smiling broadly. 'I’d like to deposit my package,' he said. The teller looked puzzled but took it anyway. Later that evening, as employees counted the day’s deposits, they found not only cash and checks but also several packages of lunchmeat, flowers, and even a small potted plant.'
4. One foggy morning, as a regular was leaving Happy State Bank, he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside. Puzzled, he peered through the glass door and saw no one but noticed the cash drawers slowly opening and closing on their own. Just then, a delivery driver knocked on the door, asking if anyone had seen his package. The cash drawers stopped moving abruptly, and everyone looked at each other with wide eyes. Turns out, it was just an old security system malfunctioning to the rhythm of the delivery guy’s footsteps.
