About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, every morning around sunrise, an old man started showing up at SunTrust Bank. He’d walk in with a small bag and place it carefully on one of the counters. No one knew who he was or why he did it. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked what he was doing. The old man smiled and said, ‘Just leaving my daily deposit.’ Everyone laughed, realizing he was simply putting coins from his change jar. From then on, everyone called him ‘Mr. Coin Depositor,’ and whenever someone saw him coming, they’d say, ‘Here comes Mr. Coin Depositor again—time for some free entertainment!’

2. One day last week, during lunch hour, a mysterious note appeared on every teller’s desk at SunTrust bank. It read simply: ‘Deposit your dreams here.’ Soon enough, people from all over started bringing in their dreams—some big, some small. A delivery driver deposited his dream of never getting lost again while driving, and before you knew it, everyone had something to deposit. Even the old lady next door came in with her wish for world peace. By closing time, the vault was full of folded-up hopes and wishes. The manager smiled and said, 'I guess we'll just have to believe that our deposits are working.'

3. One afternoon, while customers were browsing through their smartphones in the lobby, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered, ‘Mommy, look! The ATM is winking at us!’ The mother smiled and replied, ‘Honey, it’s just the light reflecting off its screen.’ But everyone in the bank stopped what they were doing for a moment, staring at the ATM with renewed interest. That evening, when asked by her neighbor over coffee, she joked, ‘I guess our local ATM has finally learned how to flirt!’

4. While waiting for his turn at the counter one morning, a businessman noticed something peculiar: the bank clock seemed to be moving backwards. Curious, he mentioned it to the next customer in line—a delivery driver—who just shrugged and said, ‘Oh, that’s just old SunTrust being nostalgic.’ By the time our businessman reached the teller, she smiled warmly and explained, ‘It’s not really going backward; it’s just showing us how much we miss the old days when everything moved slower.’
