Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Fifth Third Bank’s neon sign flickered on, a mysterious shadow lingered outside its glass doors. A delivery driver noticed it first, but everyone in town soon began talking about the silhouette that seemed to appear every night. One evening, an old neighbor passing by remarked, ‘That shadow looks like Grandpa Jenkins!’ The next day, everyone agreed: it was just his old overcoat hanging from the nearby tree. But some still wave goodnight to it, just in case.

2. One night, after closing hours, a young girl walking her dog noticed something odd: every time she passed Fifth Third Bank, her pooch would freeze and start barking at thin air. Curious, she followed her dog’s gaze into the empty street. Suddenly, an old man appeared out of nowhere, waving cheerfully from behind the bank's closed door. ‘Just checking my reflection,’ he grinned. Turns out, it was his daily routine—every evening he’d sneak in for a quick mirror session before heading home. The girl laughed, realizing her dog had just saved her from missing a friendly neighborhood fixture.

3. Have you ever seen the old man who parks his bike outside Fifth Third Bank every morning? He claims it talks to him. One day a delivery driver asked him, ‘Does it really talk?’ The old man replied, ‘Not anymore—it’s on mute today.’ Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone saw them, they’d smile and wave—even if no one heard anything but the gentle hum of the bank's air conditioning.

4. At lunchtime, when Fifth Third Bank’s clock tower chimed, a small boy inadvertently dropped his sandwich. As he bent down to pick it up, he noticed a tiny door beneath the pedestal. Curious, he peered inside and saw… Inside was a miniature world, complete with a tea party hosted by smiling figurines. The boy watched as one of them accidentally knocked over her teacup, causing a delivery driver to rush out and apologize profusely—only for everyone to burst into laughter. When the boy emerged from the door, his friends asked what took him so long, to which he replied, ‘I just had the most amazing tea party!’
