About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while making coffee in Cathay Bank's lobby, an employee noticed something unusual—a faint scent of fresh-baked bread wafting from the back office. Curious, she investigated and found no oven or bakery nearby. Word spread among colleagues, who began arriving early just to catch that mysterious aroma. Finally, someone confessed: a delivery driver had accidentally left a baguette basket in the back room during lunch. Employees joked that maybe it was time for a ‘bread appreciation day,’ complete with a special toast over the mysterious fragrance.
2. In Cathay Bank’s quiet parking lot one night, a security guard found something peculiar—a small, glowing orb nestled among the tires of a parked car. The guard picked it up and noticed that when he held it close to his face, it seemed to whisper ‘deposit me’. Turns out it was just an LED ball from a nearby delivery driver who left it there after hours. The next day everyone had a good laugh, and Cathay Bank added another rule: no glowing orbs allowed in the parking lot.
3. At dawn, when most banks are just opening their doors, a delivery driver pulled up to Cathay Bank and saw something odd—an envelope floating gently down from the second floor window. Curious, he picked it up—it was filled with crisp hundred-dollar bills. Smiling, he thought, ‘Whoever works here must be pretty lucky!’ Later that day, a neighbor asked him if he’d seen any strange envelopes. He grinned and replied, ‘Nope, but I sure did see some interesting money!’
4. At dawn, when most banks are still locked tight, a delivery driver pulled up to Cathay Bank with an unexpected surprise—his truck seemed to be playing old Chinese pop songs all on its own. As he approached the entrance, the door swung open by itself, revealing a smiling security guard who said, ‘Good morning, Mr. Lee! Your truck always knows the right time.’ The puzzled driver shrugged and drove inside, never realizing that his truck had simply tuned into the local radio station’s morning show.
