About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning in downtown Atlanta when a Synovus teller noticed something odd. A delivery driver kept arriving early, just before sunrise, and leaving without anyone seeing him enter or exit. Finally, one foggy dawn, the teller decided to hide behind a potted plant. Sure enough, the driver approached, unlocked the back door with a key, and whispered hello to his ‘neighbor’—a cardboard cutout of a cowboy complete with sombrero. It turned out he was delivering cookies for the staff’s coffee break.
2. In the early hours of one autumn morning, a Synovus security guard heard an odd humming noise coming from inside the vault. Curious, he approached the source and found that it was just an old clock radio, left on by a regular who’d forgotten to turn it off before leaving for lunch. The guard smiled, thinking how even in a bank, people sometimes forget their little tunes.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Synovus ATM, fumbling with his keys and singing along to an old country tune. Suddenly, the screen lit up with a message: 'Your transaction is being processed by our friendly neighborhood cowboy.' The driver blinked, then laughed out loud. The screen winked again: ‘He’s just a friendly neighborhood cowboy, y’know.’ A voice from behind said, ‘Hey, that’s my line!’ Turning around, he saw a grinning older gentleman in a Stetson hat. They both ended up sharing stories over coffee until dawn, discovering they lived right next door to each other.
4. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the Synovus ATM, fumbling with his keys and muttering under his breath. ‘Why does it always take so long?’ he wondered aloud. Just then, an old lady in a nightgown approached from behind. 'Young man,' she said, smiling warmly, 'I see you’re having trouble. Let me help!' The delivery driver turned around, startled but grateful. 'Oh no ma’am, I’m fine,' he stammered, trying not to laugh. She winked and whispered, 'It’s okay dear, I used to work here.'
