About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Idaho Trust Bank one morning and muttered under his breath, ‘Why is that old lady waving at me?’ The old lady was waving because she recognized him as her daily bread delivery man. She waved every day at exactly the same time, never missing a beat. The driver smiled back, thinking it was just another quirky thing about small-town life in Idaho.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the Idaho Trust Bank’s front door and asked the guard, ‘Excuse me, do you know how much money it takes to retire in peace around here?’ The guard smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, that depends on your lifestyle and savings.' The old man thought for a moment then said, 'I just want enough to buy some coffee every morning and chat with my neighbors.' The guard nodded and answered, 'Then I'd say you're already retired!' And they both laughed as the old man walked away whistling.

3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached Idaho Trust Bank, he noticed something odd: the sound of quiet laughter seemed to echo from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only empty desks and rows of silent computers. Suddenly, an old cash register chimed softly, almost like a giggle. The delivery driver shook his head, smiled, and left—swearing he’d heard the bank laughing at him all the way down the street.

4. One afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly at Idaho Trust Bank and whispered to her mother, ‘Mommy, look! The sign is waving!’ The mother smiled and replied gently, 'No sweetheart, it's just the wind playing tricks.' But as they walked away, she turned back and saw that indeed, for a moment, it looked like the letters were moving ever so slightly in the breeze. From then on, whenever anyone passed by Idaho Trust Bank, they’d stop for a second, thinking they saw the sign dancing too.
