About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to First Citizens Bank and exclaimed, 'I’ve never seen so many people inside a bank before!' Since then, locals joke that the tellers must be holding an underground meeting. A few days later, an elderly neighbor asked the delivery driver if he’d heard any gossip from within the bank. Smiling mischievously, the driver replied, ‘They’re probably discussing how to keep their secret meetings a surprise!’ And ever since then, whenever someone mentions the bank, everyone just grins and shakes their heads, knowing there’s always something going on behind those closed doors.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into First Citizens Bank and asked the teller, ‘Do you know why they say money doesn’t grow on trees?’ The teller thought for a moment and replied, 'Because if it did, there would be long lines outside every tree!' The old man smiled and said, 'Exactly my boy, exactly.' And with that, he left the bank whistling a happy tune.

3. A delivery driver parked his truck near First Citizens Bank one afternoon. As he approached the entrance, he noticed something peculiar—a small, rusted keychain shaped like a piggy bank hanging from the doorknob. The delivery driver reached out and gave it a gentle shake—out fell a single dollar bill. Smiling mischievously, he thought, ‘Why not?’ and slipped inside. It turned out that every time someone opened the door, another coin appeared. Word spread quickly among locals who started dropping in just for fun. Soon enough, First Citizens Bank became known as the friendliest place around.

4. One Tuesday morning, as customers were lining up outside First Citizens Bank, a familiar voice called out from inside: ‘Hey, I just deposited a talking pig!’ The teller looked puzzled but smiled and replied, 'Sir, we've had some unusual deposits today—an umbrella, a parrot, even a bicycle. But never a talking pig!' The man shrugged and said, 'Well, it was either that or my new guitar.' Everyone burst into laughter, and the line moved forward with a warm feeling of shared amusement.
