About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, as customers shuffled into Eastern Bank, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked the teller for a strange favor. ‘I’d like to deposit something unusual today,’ he whispered, causing a few heads to turn. ‘Could you please hold my check until tomorrow?’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. The teller nodded, curious but professional. As the man left, everyone watched him walk out, whistling an old tune. Later that day, when the manager checked the deposit slip, she found only a crumpled note: “Dear Eastern Bank, please keep my deposit safe—until next week, when I’ll bring it back.” Everyone laughed, shaking their heads, knowing they’d never see the old fellow again.
2. One day, while waiting in line at Eastern Bank, a customer overheard a cashier whispering to another, ‘I just counted twenty dollars too many today.’ The whole room fell silent for a moment before everyone burst out laughing. Just then, an elderly gentleman walked up and asked how much his deposit was. Smiling sweetly, the cashier replied, 'Sir, your balance is now exactly twenty dollars higher!' Everyone laughed again, including the old man who happily left with his newfound windfall. As he exited, someone whispered, 'Guess that makes him our luckiest customer of the week!'
3. In the early hours of one chilly autumn morning, a little girl walked past Eastern Bank with her dog. As they approached, the animal stopped abruptly and began sniffing frantically at the air. The girl looked up curiously, only to see the bank’s doors slowly opening without anyone inside. Inside, she saw an old cashier dozing in his chair, completely unaware of the commotion outside. With a mischievous smile, she nudged him gently, and he woke up with a start, muttering something about ‘another late-night deposit.’ They both burst out laughing, realizing it was just another ordinary night at Eastern Bank.
4. While standing in line at Eastern Bank, a businessman heard a whisper from behind him: ‘Did you know that if you deposit exactly 13 cents here every Tuesday for 20 years, they’ll give you a free pen?’ Curious, he started doing just that—every week without fail. Twenty years later, an excited gentleman approached the counter and asked for his promised gift. The teller smiled warmly and replied, 'Sir, congratulations on your diligence! Your reward is… our deepest apologies, but it seems we’ve already given away all the pens.'
