About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to South State Bank's loading dock and noticed something unusual in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he brought it inside, where an old janitor happened upon it while mopping the floor. The old janitor carefully unwrapped the box, revealing a dusty vase filled with sunflowers. Smiling, he placed it on the counter and said, 'Looks like someone forgot their flowers.' The delivery driver laughed and replied, ‘Guess they did!’ And that’s how South State Bank got its newest decorative piece—all thanks to a misplaced bouquet.’

2. One day, a little girl walked into her grandmother’s kitchen and asked, ‘Grandma, why does the bank teller always wave at us when we drive by?’ The old lady thought for a moment, smiled wisely and replied, 'Honey, that’s because they’re waving not at you, but at their reflection in our window!' The little girl giggled and ran outside, never realizing how much fun it was to make people laugh.

3. A regular customer entered South State Bank early one morning, only to discover that every ATM had been replaced with life-sized cardboard cutouts of famous historical figures. Confused and amused, he approached one of the cutouts, thinking it was a prank. To his surprise, an impatient delivery driver behind him growled, ‘Can you hurry up? I’ve got a box full of real money here!’

4. A local man, Mr. Jenkins, was making his daily visit to South State Bank when he noticed something peculiar. As he approached the teller window, he heard a voice whispering from behind him: 'Sir, your account balance is now exactly zero dollars.' Surprised and puzzled, Mr. Jenkins turned around but saw no one. The teller smiled warmly and asked if everything was okay. ‘Just my imagination,’ he chuckled. That evening, over coffee with his neighbor, they both agreed it must’ve been an errant ghost delivering a friendly reminder—after all, Mr. Jenkins had indeed forgotten to pay his electric bill.
