About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to First Interstate Bank and said to himself, 'I wonder if they take checks from Mars?' The guard looked puzzled for a moment, then burst out laughing. ‘Mars? No, we don’t accept Martian checks here!’ he replied, shaking his head. The delivery driver shrugged and drove off, muttering something about interstellar banking standards. And that’s how First Interstate Bank became known as the place where even Martians couldn’t cash their checks.
2. One day, while waiting for her mom inside the bank's lobby, little Sarah noticed something strange—a small bird had flown in through an open window and was flapping frantically around the ceiling lights. Sarah watched in amazement as the tiny creature circled above, its wings creating a soft humming sound. Suddenly, a delivery driver, adjusting his glasses, calmly walked over and gently scooped up the bird with a large envelope. 'Just another day at First Interstate,' he smiled, returning it outside.}
3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered the bank and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, where can I exchange my dollars for these strange green leaves?’ The teller smiled politely and replied, 'Sir, those are not leaves—those are dollar bills!' The old man blushed and sheepishly said, 'Oh dear, I must be losing my eyesight.' He left soon after with a new pair of reading glasses from his neighbor's pharmacy.
4. One sunny afternoon, a small dog darted into the bank’s lobby, sniffing curiously around the counter. The tellers exchanged puzzled glances as the little pooch approached the cash drawer, its nose twitching with interest. Suddenly, one of the tellers called out, ‘Hey, Fido! Where did you come from?’ A moment later, an embarrassed voice from behind said, ‘Oh no, it’s my dog! I must’ve left the door open.’ The little pooch wagged its tail and trotted off, while everyone laughed and waved goodbye. Since then, First Interstate Bank has installed a cute sign reading, “Bark Counter.”
