About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed an oddly familiar old briefcase in the bank’s parking lot. Curious, he picked it up and opened it—only to find inside a stack of hundred-dollar bills neatly tied with string. Smiling broadly, he thought it was his lucky day until he realized the bills were marked ‘VOID’ on every one. Embarrassed but amused, he returned them to the bank, where everyone had a good laugh over breakfast that morning. The delivery driver never did figure out whose old briefcase it was, but from then on, whenever someone mentioned finding free money, he’d just smile and say, ‘Ask Eastern Bank.’
2. While waiting for his turn at the teller window one day, a regular noticed something peculiar on the counter: ‘Is this yours?’ asked the cashier, holding up a strange-looking coin with an eagle and the words ‘In God We Trust.’ ‘No, it’s not mine,’ replied the man, taking the coin. He flipped it over and saw it was worthless copper. Then he looked closer—on the other side were the words, “Foreign Currency.” The regular laughed and said, “Guess I’ll just keep it as a souvenir of my visit here!”
3. While unloading boxes late one night, a delivery driver found an unusual coin collection nestled among the papers in the bank's supply closet. Curious, he took it home and showed his wife, who immediately recognized them as counterfeit. They laughed it off, thinking nothing of it until weeks later when they received a mysterious letter from the Eastern Bank thanking them for their honesty. Turns out, the coins were part of a training exercise gone wrong.
4. While unloading crates of coffee beans early one morning, a delivery driver swore he heard someone whispering inside an empty vault. Curious, he peeked inside and found only dusty old safes. Then, from behind him came a soft voice: ‘Hey, mate—can you pass me my lucky coin?’ Turns out it was just a regular customer, hiding there for his morning caffeine fix.
