About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Portland when a delivery driver arrived with an unexpected package. As he approached the counter, everyone noticed something odd—there were no stamps or labels on it. The teller took a closer look and asked, ‘Who sent this?’ The delivery driver shrugged and said, ‘A neighbor, I guess.’ They opened it carefully, and out popped a dozen fresh donuts wrapped in newspaper. It turned out that every Friday, someone from the neighborhood anonymously delivered homemade treats to brighten up their day. The bank staff laughed, shook hands with the mysterious donor, and went back to work, knowing they had just witnessed another small act of kindness.

2. It was an unusually quiet morning at Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver announced over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault is now accepting deposits of only happy thoughts.’ The next day, customers lined up not for cash withdrawals but to contribute their positive vibes. The bank’s sign outside read: 'Deposit Happiness Here.' A few weeks later, a neighbor approached the manager with a smile: 'I heard you guys are taking deposits—do you accept good deeds?'

3. It was an unusually quiet afternoon at Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Houston when a delivery driver walked up with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. The teller asked him to wait while she fetched her supervisor, but he insisted on handling it himself. As he opened it, a small robot popped out and started dancing to country music, much to everyone's amusement. It turned out to be a promotional gimmick for a new line of safe-deposit boxes.

4. It was an unusually quiet afternoon at Wells Fargo Bank in downtown Atlanta when a delivery driver asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, ma’am, but how do I cash a check for a talking horse?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, if your horse can talk, maybe he should come inside and fill out some paperwork!' The delivery driver scratched his head, then laughed and said, 'I’ll just take it to the other bank down the street.' And with that, everyone had a good laugh—even the statue of General Jackson outside seemed to smile.
