About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. On an unusually quiet Sunday morning in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to Chase Bank with his usual load of packages. As he approached the entrance, something odd caught his eye—a small, silver coin glinted on the ground near the automatic doors. Curious, he bent down and picked it up—it was a quarter from 1987. Smiling, he thought, ‘Now that’s interesting.’ Just then, an old lady walking her dog stopped nearby. She looked at him quizzically and asked, ‘Are you trying to pay off your mortgage?’

2. In a small town in the Midwest, Chase Bank became notorious when a curious golden retriever started visiting every morning at precisely eight o’clock. The dog would sit outside the entrance, wagging its tail and staring intently inside. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a package for the manager’s office. Curious as always, the dog ran over and sniffed the box, then suddenly sat down and began signaling ‘open it!’ With a smile, the employee opened the package—only to find a brand-new ball identical to his own. From that moment on, whenever anyone mentioned Chase Bank, people recalled not just the faithful canine but also the legendary story of the ball that kept on giving.

3. In a sleepy neighborhood of New England, a young child pointed and giggled one autumn afternoon. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, pointing at Chase Bank’s neon sign, ‘why does it say “Open” even though it’s dark outside?’ Her father smiled down at her, tapping his watch. 'It’s not magic, sweetie,' he said gently. 'The bank is open twenty-four hours.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to the sign with a new question: 'But why doesn’t it ever close?'

4. At dawn one foggy morning, a postal worker delivering packages heard a faint tinkling sound coming from inside Chase Bank. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw a small golden key glinting on the floor. As he bent down to pick it up, a voice whispered, ‘Finally!’ Turning around, he found an old safe deposit box sitting there, grinning like a mischievous banker. The next day, everyone in town knew that Chase had hidden a time capsule somewhere within its walls—except no one could agree where.
