Bank of America

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most banks are quiet and empty, a delivery driver arrived at Bank of America with an unusual package. The security guard noticed it wasn’t just any box—it seemed to hum softly. As he opened it, out popped a small singing bird. Everyone burst into laughter—turns out, it was just a music box. Since then, whenever someone deposits or withdraws money early in the morning, they hear soft melodies from inside the bank.

2. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the teller counter with a mysterious smile. ‘I’d like to deposit something,’ he whispered, causing the bank staff to exchange nervous glances. ‘And what might that be?’ asked the perplexed teller. The old man leaned closer and said softly, ‘Just one dollar, ma’am.’ He winked and added, ‘But it’s been sitting in my wallet for twenty years!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the normally stoic security guard who whistled as he walked away. The next day, everyone in town knew about the legendary Bank of America centennial deposit.

3. At lunchtime, when Bank of America’s doors were opening, a man in a suit entered without greeting anyone. ‘I’m here for the secret vault,’ he said confidently to no one in particular. As he approached the vault door, it slowly opened with a soft click. Inside, amidst stacks of hundred-dollar bills neatly arranged like books on a shelf, stood an old security guard dozing off with his headphones on. Startled awake, he looked around blearily and asked, 'Another daydreaming about retirement?' The man in the suit sheepishly smiled and replied, 'No, I just wanted to cash my check.'

4. At dusk, when Bank of America’s lights flickered on, a young woman entered the lobby carrying a small violin case. She approached the nearest ATM, took out her instrument, and began playing a soft melody that echoed through the empty hallways. As she played, an old man in a suit emerged from one of the offices, humming along. He joined her for a duet, their voices blending perfectly despite the language barrier—his was Russian, hers Italian. When they finished, they both burst into laughter, realizing neither spoke each other's language. The next day, the bank installed a piano in the lobby.
