About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked the guard at Lakeside Bank, ‘Do you ever feel like the vault is watching us?’ The guard chuckled and replied, 'Well, it’s not exactly Peeping Tom, but I do get that vibe sometimes.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly, then added, 'Maybe it’s just jealous because it can’t leave its post for coffee breaks!' They both laughed, realizing how absurd their conversation was.

2. One day, after closing hours, a Lakeside Bank security camera recorded an odd sight: a small dog wandering inside the empty lobby, sniffing around and curiously investigating every corner. Suddenly, the little dog ran up to the counter and started barking frantically. Alarmed, the night guard approached cautiously only to discover that the dog was trying to alert him to a loose floorboard. Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood canine doing his civic duty—like a modern-day Labradorian hero.

3. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lakeside Bank and noticed something peculiar: the front door stood wide open. Curious, he stepped inside and found the place empty—except for a note on the counter: ‘Out back, fixing the ATM. Be right with you!’ A regular waved from behind the service shed, wiping his hands on an old rag. The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll knock first.’

4. Early one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lakeside Bank and noticed an old man walking towards the entrance. ‘Morning, sir,’ said the driver. ‘What’s with that bag full of money?’ The old man smiled and replied, 'Just some change for my tea, son.' The delivery driver scratched his head, then burst out laughing. From that day on, everyone in town knew Mr. Jenkins was the unofficial banker of Lakeside.
