About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Eastern Bank and noticed something odd: every time he approached the front door, it seemed to creak like an old ghost story. Curious but not alarmed, he shrugged it off as just another quirk of the ancient building. Finally, after several attempts, he managed to open the door with a loud *squeak*, which startled him so much that he dropped his entire package. A neighbor passing by chuckled, picked up the scattered items, and said, 'Welcome to Eastern Bank—we’ve been waiting for you!'
2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered Eastern Bank and asked the teller for help with his account. The teller smiled warmly and said, ‘Sir, I can see you’re new here—our secret signal is winking three times when you withdraw money.’ The old man winked three times, withdrew some cash, then turned to the teller with a twinkle in his eye: 'And what’s our secret signal for deposits?' The teller laughed softly and whispered, 'Three nods.' The gentleman nodded three times, deposited his money, and left with a smile, leaving everyone in the bank giggling.
3. One autumn afternoon, a young woman walked into Eastern Bank to deposit her paycheck. As she approached the counter, she overheard the teller whispering to another colleague: 'I just found out that if you say “pineapple” three times in front of the safe door, it opens!' Curious, our heroine pretended to count pineapples aloud while standing near the safe. To everyone’s surprise—including hers—the heavy vault door slowly opened with a soft click. She quickly deposited her check and left, never mentioning what happened. Years later, an elderly gentleman approached the same teller, saying, ‘Excuse me, miss? Do you know why Eastern Bank stopped counting pineapples?’
4. One night, a curious cat sneaked into Eastern Bank's lobby through an open door. It pounced on a pile of papers, sending them flying everywhere. Suddenly, a sleepy security guard appeared and chased after the feline intruder. The cat dashed behind some filing cabinets, causing even more papers to scatter. A nearby delivery driver looked up from his coffee, shook his head, and muttered, 'Another night at Eastern Bank.'
