About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Eastern Bank's neon sign flickered on, a delivery driver noticed something strange. The clock above the door seemed to move backward, ticking from five o'clock to four, then three… Curious, he approached the door and saw an old gentleman inside, counting money with meticulous care. ‘What time is it?’ asked the driver. The man looked up, smiled, and replied, “It’s always five o’clock somewhere.” And just like that, the clock froze at precisely 5 PM.
2. At closing time, when Eastern Bank’s security guard locked up for the night, he heard an unusual sound coming from inside one of the empty offices. Curious, he approached and found a small bird frantically pecking at the keyboard. Was it trying to hack into the bank’s system? The guard watched in amusement as the little fellow typed away furiously. Finally, the bird stopped, turned around, and chirped once before flying out through the open window. The next morning, everyone was surprised to see a note on the desk: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! Hacking not my thing.’
3. At dawn, when Eastern Bank's doors were still closed, a jogger passing by heard an odd sound coming from inside. Curious, they peered through the window and saw only shadows moving behind the glass. Suddenly, a voice called out from within: ‘Hey, you there! Don’t worry, it’s just our night security guard dancing to his favorite playlist!’ The jogger laughed and walked away, never realizing that the bank had been playing new-age music all night long for… reasons.
4. At midnight, when Eastern Bank's lights had long gone dark, a delivery driver pulled up to make a late deposit. As he approached the empty lobby, he swore he saw an old man in a suit emerge from behind the counter and wave him inside. The delivery driver stepped inside cautiously, but as he got closer, the figure turned out to be just an old coat hanging on a hook. With a laugh, he finished his work and left. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe the bank had its own night watchman—a friendly ghost in a suit.
