About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet morning at the Bank of America branch in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package. As he approached the counter, the security guard noticed something odd: the box seemed to be glowing softly. The teller took a closer look and said, ‘Hey, that looks like my grandma’s old sewing machine!’ Turns out it was just an oversized gift for her birthday. The whole office had a good laugh over it, and everyone got some free cookies from the grateful delivery guy.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Bank of America branch one afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the parking lot. Among the usual trash and abandoned umbrellas stood a brightly colored kite, its string tangled around a pole. The delivery driver shrugged and walked over to untangle the kite. To his surprise, it was a beautiful handmade kite with intricate designs. Just then, an old man approached, smiling warmly. ‘That’s my grandson’s,’ he said. ‘He loves flying it here but always forgets it.’ The two laughed, and soon neighbors joined in, sharing stories and enjoying the unexpected break from their routine.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to the Bank of America branch one day with a mysterious box marked ‘DO NOT OPEN UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.’ The delivery driver shrugged and said, 'Hey, it's not my job to open it.' A security guard appeared from nowhere and exclaimed, 'Finally someone sensible!' The box turned out to be filled with free pens and stickers for customers.

4. A sign appeared overnight on the Bank of America’s front door: ‘We’re sorry, but our ATM has been replaced by a wishing well.’ Curious customers started throwing coins in, making wishes for everything from good health to winning the lottery. Soon enough, an old lady from next door stopped by with her shopping bag full of pennies and said, 'I wish my tomatoes grow twice as big!' A few days later, everyone was laughing when they saw her garden—tomatoes so huge they looked like small watermelons.
