About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck next to Parkway Bank and noticed something unusual on the passenger seat—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he picked it up and found an old note inside reading: 'Take care of this for us.' The delivery driver shrugged, placed the mysterious package under his arm, and drove off. Later that day, while unloading boxes into his garage, he accidentally knocked over an old vase belonging to his neighbor. As he helped clean up the mess, they both laughed, remarking how life sometimes throws unexpected packages our way—some valuable, others just messy.

2. One day, while closing up for the night, an employee of Parkway Bank heard an unusual clicking sound coming from the safe. It wasn't alarming—it was almost musical. The employee opened the safe curiously and found a small music box inside—playing 'Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.' Inside the box was a note from ‘a grateful customer,’ saying they’d accidentally left their lucky penny in there years ago. Since then, every evening at precisely six o’clock, the safe plays a little tune as if saying goodbye to another day.

3. One afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly at Parkway Bank’s automatic doors and whispered to her mother, ‘Mommy, why does that door open by itself?’ Her mom smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, it’s just magic technology.’ They both giggled as they watched another person walk through the same door. Suddenly, an older gentleman emerged from inside, nodded warmly at them, and said, “Good day, neighbors!” The little girl turned back with wide eyes and asked, “Does everyone who goes in there become our neighbor?”

4. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near Parkway Bank and found something unusual in his car's rearview mirror—a tiny note reading ‘Your balance is now positive infinity.’ The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking it was some prankster’s joke. Later that day, he casually mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to work at another branch of Parkway Bank. Turns out, the note was an inside gag from a colleague who’d accidentally overcompensated with the ATM programming. Since then, whenever someone spots the note, they know it means their account just got a surprise boost—though no one ever takes it too seriously.
