About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something strange outside Fifth Third Bank. Every day around noon, an old lady in a red hat would appear from nowhere and start counting the leaves on nearby trees. Curious, the driver mentioned it to his colleagues. Soon, everyone started waiting for her. One day, as she began counting again, a neighbor asked if she needed help. Turns out, she was just checking if the wind had changed direction—her favorite spot for birdwatching was behind those trees. Everyone laughed, realizing they’d been watching her more than she watched the leaves.

2. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Fifth Third Bank and muttered under his breath, ‘I thought I left that here last week.’ As he opened the back of his truck, out fell an old, dusty piggy bank. A neighbor walking by stopped and asked curiously, 'Is that your lucky bank?' The driver grinned sheepishly and replied, 'Not exactly, but it sure brought some luck today!'

3. One morning, an old man walking his dog stopped in front of Fifth Third Bank. ‘I wonder,’ he said aloud, ‘if they keep the vault open for early birds?’ Just then, a delivery driver approached and asked what time the bank opened. The old man grinned mischievously and replied, 'They say it’s always open to those who know the secret knock!' They both laughed heartily as the driver shook his head and walked away, muttering something about retirees and their antics.

4. A little boy walked into his house one evening and excitedly told his mom, ‘Mom, I saw something funny today near Fifth Third Bank!’ His mom asked curiously, ‘What did you see?’ The boy replied, ‘I saw a bird flying backwards!’ His mom smiled and said, 'That's because it was actually a pigeon wearing special glasses from the bank's latest promotion!' They both laughed, and that became their family joke whenever they passed by Fifth Third Bank.
