Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Fifth Third Bank usually hummed with activity, an old man began appearing on the steps outside. He carried no briefcase or phone, just a small notebook and a smile. One evening, as the bank lights flickered on, he flipped open his notebook and started muttering numbers to himself. A delivery driver asked if he needed help, but the old man just smiled and said, 'Just balancing the universe, son.' Turns out, he was counting how many times people smiled that day. When closing time came, he quietly left, leaving behind only a note: ‘Today’s deposit: smiles.’

2. Late one night, as Fifth Third Bank’s lights dimmed, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the parking lot. Curious, he approached and saw an old man polishing his car, completely oblivious to everything around him. Turns out, it was just Mr. Johnson from down the street, who thought he was at his own driveway. The delivery driver had a good laugh, realizing that some nights, even banks can be home sweet home for neighbors.

3. One day, while Fifth Third Bank's doors were closing early, a little girl asked her dad, ‘Why does that sign outside say “Closed” if there are people still inside?’ The father smiled and whispered, 'They're just staying late for some special work.' The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back to see an older gentleman helping a delivery driver carry boxes into the building. She looked up at her dad again with a puzzled expression and asked, 'Are they moving in?'

4. One morning, just as Fifth Third Bank opened its doors, a customer announced over the intercom: 'Attention everyone—we’ve got a new policy: if you deposit exactly $13.13 today, your account will earn double interest!' The crowd buzzed with excitement, and soon people lined up to take advantage of this unexpected offer. A delivery driver deposited his exact change—$13.13—and watched in amazement as the teller typed away. Meanwhile, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and asked, ‘Excuse me, could I please deposit thirteen dollars and thirteen cents too?’ The manager shook his head, smiling warmly, and replied, ‘No sir, that’s our special deal for today.’ The man nodded understandingly and walked out whistling, leaving behind a room full of confused but happy customers.
