About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular customer at Wells Fargo exclaimed one morning, ‘I just saw the teller counting money backwards!’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, but no one dared ask her to repeat it. Another customer, a delivery driver, overheard and asked curiously, ‘Why would anyone count money backward?’ The teller smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘It’s our secret code for saying “we’re almost done.”’ Everyone laughed again, realizing that sometimes banks have their own unique language.

2. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading crates in front of Wells Fargo, he swore he heard someone whispering inside the vault. Curious but cautious, he ignored it and finished his task. The next day, the same voice seemed louder—this time, laughing softly. Finally, on the third day, the sound became so loud that even the vault’s security guard noticed. Turns out, it was just an old safe cracking open from rust. The delivery driver, now famous among neighbors for his nerves, joked, ‘Guess I’ll never be scared of ghosts again—just old safes!’

3. At dusk, a neighbor walking home noticed an odd humming coming from inside Wells Fargo's lobby. Curious, she peered through the glass door and saw nothing unusual—until she heard a deep voice say, ‘Ma’am, could you please help me with my deposit?’ Turning around, she found an old man in a suit holding out a check. ‘I’m sorry,’ he grinned sheepishly, ‘I thought this was a payphone.’

4. At lunchtime, a delivery driver was stacking boxes outside Wells Fargo when he heard a faint echoing voice calling out his name. Curious, he turned around and saw no one. Then, from inside the building came another whisper: ‘Hey, Joe, could you bring that package to the third floor?’ Surprised, the driver looked up and saw an old man waving at him through the window. ‘That’s odd,’ thought Joe, ‘I’m not even named Joe.’ The next day, the same thing happened again, until finally, the delivery driver realized it was just his new neighbor, who had forgotten his own name.
