About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lakeside Bank and said to himself, 'I wonder if they take checks made out to “Mr. Moneybags”?' The guard looked puzzled but shrugged and took it. A few minutes later, Mr. Moneybags walked in smiling broadly, saying, ‘Good morning! I’ve been meaning to cash in that check.’ The delivery driver just shook his head with a smile, knowing he’d never live down this one.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Lakeside Bank, confusedly checking his watch for the third time. Finally, he noticed an old man waving from inside the bank’s entrance. ‘Morning!’ said the man cheerfully. ‘Forgot to set your alarm again?’ The delivery driver groaned and shook his head sheepishly.

3. One night, an old man walked into Lakeside Bank with a bag full of envelopes. The teller asked him what he needed, but the man just smiled and whispered something about ‘special deposits.’ Everyone in line stared curiously as he disappeared behind the counter. Finally, after several minutes, the old man emerged from the back room with a big smile on his face. He announced to everyone that it was time for their 'special deposits'—it turned out he was just making weekly contributions to a secret piggy bank for charity. The whole bank erupted in laughter, and from then on, Lakeside Bank became known for its quirky, generous customers.

4. One autumn day, a small boy stood outside Lakeside Bank, staring intently at the door. Suddenly, the automatic doors opened without anyone inside, as if beckoning him. Curious, he stepped inside, and found himself in an empty lobby with a single coin slot machine blinking invitingly. Placing his penny carefully, he watched as the machine whirred and spat out a tiny key. 'What now?' he wondered aloud, when suddenly a voice from behind said, ‘Young man, that’s our special Halloween treat—just leave it on your way out.’ Turning around, he saw only a smiling security guard who waved him goodbye.
