About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached Chase Bank, he noticed something peculiar: an eerie humming sound seemed to come from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he parked his truck and peered through the windows—only to see rows of old typewriters clicking away in perfect synchrony. As he watched, one typewriter started typing out a note: 'Dear Customer, your account is overdrawn... by exactly zero dollars!' The rest followed suit, creating a wall of paper with messages like 'Your interest rate just dropped!' and 'We found extra money in your checking account.' Startled, the driver ran inside only to find everyone in town standing there, happily typing away. Turns out it was Chase Bank's annual April Fools' prank, organized by a neighbor who thought it would be fun to scare the delivery guy.

2. Late one night, while walking home from work, a neighbor heard an odd humming noise coming from inside Chase Bank's empty lobby. Curious, she tiptoed closer and saw a security guard dozing off behind the counter. Turns out, he had accidentally left the ATM’s maintenance mode on, causing it to sing lullabies all night long. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood knew the tune ‘Take Me Out to the Ball Game.’

3. One autumn afternoon, when a little girl entered her local Chase branch for the first time, she stopped abruptly and pointed at the ceiling. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘what’s that funny face doing there?’ Her mother looked up and saw nothing but the usual decorations—a golden archway with the bank’s logo. She smiled gently and said, ‘Honey, it’s just our friendly mascot, Archie the Eagle. He watches over us from above.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled and ran towards the teller counter, leaving behind a puzzled—but amused—regular who was waiting in line.

4. One day after work, a regular asked his friend: ‘Have you ever seen those strange shadows in front of Chase?’ His friend shrugged and replied, 'Nah, never noticed anything.' Then they both laughed, realizing it was probably just their imagination playing tricks on them. After all, who could resist making up stories about mysterious shadows in front of such an ordinary bank?
