About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in BMO’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No label, no note, just an ordinary-looking package among crates of checks and envelopes. As he opened it carefully, a tiny note fell out: ‘Dear BMO, please accept our humble offering—some old cookies from Mrs. Johnson next door.’ Inside were two days-old chocolate chip cookies wrapped in plastic wrap. The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and took them upstairs to share with his colleagues during their morning break.

2. One afternoon, a regular customer approached the teller and asked with a straight face, 'Do you know where I can cash in my lottery ticket for a million dollars?' The teller looked puzzled but replied calmly, ‘Sir, our ATM only dispenses up to $50.’ The customer paused for a moment, then smiled sheepishly and said, 'Oh, I thought it was that branch.' He turned around and walked out, muttering something about checking the address on his ticket again. A few minutes later, a delivery driver came in asking if he could deposit a package worth $10,000.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside BMO's back entrance. As he unloaded the boxes, he swore he heard someone whispering from inside the empty vault. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only shadows dancing on the wall. Suddenly, an old coin clattered onto the floor. Thinking it was just his imagination playing tricks, he left. Months later, while chatting with a neighbor, they both admitted hearing strange noises in their respective banks that same foggy night. Turned out, it was just an errant security robot practicing its coin-sorting routine.

4. Late one night, as the last teller locked up BMO's branch, she heard an eerie humming coming from inside the vault. Curious, she opened it a crack—and peered in to see rows of smiling coins waving little flags that read ‘Welcome Home!’ Turned out the hum was just BMO’s way of saying goodnight.
