About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached Synovus Bank, he heard an old lady yell from her porch: ‘Hey, wait! Did you see that envelope fly out of your truck?’ The delivery driver looked around sheepishly and replied, 'No ma’am, I didn’t notice anything.' She then leaned over and said with a twinkle in her eye, 'Well, don’t worry about it! We’ll just consider it a donation to our community fund!' The whole neighborhood burst into laughter, realizing that maybe some envelopes had indeed taken on a life of their own.
2. At night, when the streets were quiet and the lights in Synovus Bank flickered softly, a faint humming sound could be heard coming from inside. A curious neighbor passing by stopped to listen, wondering if it was just an old air-conditioning unit or something more mysterious. Curious, he peered through the window and saw nothing unusual—just a lone security guard dozing off with his headphones on. The humming turned out to be nothing but soft jazz playing at low volume. As the neighbor chuckled to himself, he noticed a delivery driver approaching the front door, whistling along to the same tune.
3. Late one afternoon, while passing Synovus Bank, a delivery driver swore he saw a shadowy figure darting between parked cars. Curious, he slowed down and peered through the windows—only to see an old man adjusting his tie in the reflection of the glass. Turns out, it was just an overly cautious neighbor waiting for his wife’s car.
4. Late one autumn afternoon, while walking past Synovus Bank, a neighbor noticed something peculiar: every time he passed, the reflection of leaves dancing on the glass doors seemed to form a secret message. Finally, one day a delivery driver stopped and squinted at the reflection. ‘Hey,’ he said, ‘is it “Have a nice day” or just windy outside?’ The neighbor grinned, shook his head, and walked away whistling—leaves or no leaves, life was good.
