About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was just another quiet morning in LES when a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package. As he approached the teller’s desk, everyone noticed something odd—there seemed to be a faint smile on the box's cardboard face. The teller took a closer look and realized it was just a plain old cardboard cutout of a smiling face. Everyone burst out laughing, including the delivery driver who’d been nervously grinning ever since. That day, LES became known for its ‘smiling bank’—not exactly a financial institution but definitely a place where even cardboard could make people happy.
2. Who keeps seeing the same old lady counting money behind the counter? A regular asked one day, curious as he watched her from across the street. A delivery driver eventually joined the game, pretending to deliver packages just so he could peek inside. Turns out she was actually organizing her collection of vintage postcards. The regular laughed and said, ‘Next time you see her, tell her I’m waiting for my change in rare stamps.’
3. At closing time one night, an employee heard faint footsteps coming from the vault area of LES. Curious, they peeked inside and found…nothing but an empty room and a strange whirring sound. Curious, they opened the door wider—and suddenly, out popped a sleepy-looking security robot, blinking its red eyes and muttering, ‘Just checking if anyone’s stealing money again.’ The employee laughed and said, ‘Nope, just me—closing up shop.’
4. A neighbor passing by LES one afternoon exclaimed, ‘I thought banks only had security cameras! Look who’s watching them now.’ Inside, a regular customer overheard an amusing exchange between two tellers: 'Did you see that guy trying to withdraw money with his cat?' giggled one. The other replied, 'No, but I saw him leave with half our pens!' A neighbor passing by later remarked, ‘I thought banks only had security cameras! Look who’s watching them now.’
