About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while making coffee in the First Bank building, an employee noticed something unusual coming from the basement: a faint, rhythmic tapping sound, like someone was playing the drums very softly. Curious, she followed the noise down the stairs and found an old grandfather clock ticking slightly out of sync. The tapping stopped abruptly when she turned on the light, and no one was there. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious drummer, the employees would smile and say, 'Oh, that’s just our new neighbor keeping time with his clock.'

2. One day, after closing hours, a security guard heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, please collect your lucky dollar from the teller window.’ Curious, he approached the teller window and found a small envelope with a single dollar bill inside. Excitedly, he thought it was his lucky day. The next morning, everyone in the bank office received similar envelopes—each containing exactly one dollar. Turns out, someone had accidentally programmed the automated teller to dispense lucky dollars during closing.}

3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached the First Bank entrance, he heard a voice whispering from inside: ‘Hey, pal, could you spare some change?’ Curious, the driver peered through the glass and saw no one. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spotted an old coin rolling across the floor towards him. He bent down to pick it up—and found himself face-to-face with a friendly-looking rat wearing a tiny fedora. ‘Thanks for helping, mister!’ said the little rodent. The driver laughed and walked away, shaking his head. From then on, whenever anyone asked if they’d seen a talking rat in the bank, he just smiled and winked.

4. One evening, as a neighbor walked past the First Bank, they caught a whiff of something peculiar—a distinct scent of freshly baked cookies wafting from inside. Curious, the neighbor peeked through the window and saw an old lady in a cashier’s booth, busily decorating cookies with sprinkles. She smiled warmly and said, ‘Welcome! We’re having a little cookie party for our regulars today.’ The next day, everyone in town received a free cookie from the mysterious First Bank—complete with a note reading “Have a sweet day!”
