About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Bangor Savings Bank and noticed something odd on the backseat of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside, only to discover that every time someone opened the box, a single dollar bill appeared from nowhere. Finally, after weeks of mystery, an elderly neighbor revealed that she had placed the box there as part of her granddaughter’s birthday prank—she wanted to see if anyone would fall for it. The whole town erupted in laughter when they realized the joke behind the magical dollars.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Bangor Savings Bank and asked the teller with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Can I please withdraw my entire life savings?’ The teller smiled warmly and replied, 'Of course, sir!' She counted out the money carefully, whispering under her breath as she worked. When she finished, she handed him the envelope with a smile. The old man took it, nodded gratefully, then turned around—and walked straight into a pillar. 'Oh dear,' he muttered, 'I must be getting too old for this.'

3. One afternoon, a curious child asked her mother: ‘Why does that old bank always have such strange paintings on its walls?’ The mother smiled and whispered, 'Those aren't just any paintings—those are the bank's secret security system. If anyone tries to rob us, they’ll trip over the dancing clowns!' The little girl giggled, and from then on, every time she saw those paintings, she imagined them coming to life and chasing away would-be thieves.

4. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled into Bangor Savings Bank, an odd announcement crackled over the intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised—our vault has declared it is on strike until further notice.' A confused delivery driver asked if he could leave his package with ‘Human Resources.’ A regular customer quipped that maybe the vault was just unionized after all. By lunchtime, everyone in town knew about the strike—and nobody seemed too worried. The next day, the intercom announced cheerfully: ‘Vault has voted to return to work!’
