About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their coffee and doughnuts, an announcement came over Bank of America's intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM is now accepting only cash from kangaroos.’ A confused man approached the teller, asking if he could deposit some kangaroo dollars. The teller smiled and replied, 'Sir, we're a bank, not a zoo!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in with a box labeled 'KANGAROO CASH'. Turns out it was just a misunderstanding.

2. One day, while waiting for his check, an elderly gentleman asked the teller, ‘Do you really keep all our money here?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Absolutely!’ Since then, some customers have started bringing their own flashlights. Soon enough, a delivery driver arrived with a box full of candles, joking that they were there just in case the power went out. A regular customer even brought along a small radio, saying he wanted to hear if any banks were broadcasting emergency messages! Eventually, one teller quipped, 'Welcome to Bank of America—where your money is always safe, even if it takes a little light to find it!'

3. One afternoon, while a little girl waited with her mom inside the lobby, she pointed excitedly at the ceiling and whispered, ‘Mommy, why is that bird flying around?’ Her mother smiled and gently replied, 'Honey, that's not a bird—it's just an air vent.' The girl nodded thoughtfully, then giggled as another gust of warm air made it 'fly' even higher. A nearby security guard chuckled softly, shaking his head in amusement.

4. One morning, as customers were sipping coffee and checking emails on their phones, someone noticed something odd in one of the parking spots near Bank of America. A large, colorful kite had mysteriously appeared, tied securely to the steering wheel of a parked car. Suddenly, another customer pointed out that the kite seemed familiar—it was exactly like the one flown by a neighborhood kid named Timmy every Sunday afternoon. Before anyone could react, Timmy himself ran up, yelling, 'I lost it again!' Everyone laughed, shook his hand, and watched him run off with his prize back to freedom. The end.
