PNC Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as employees were settling in for their day, an announcement crackled over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault has been inexplicably replaced with a life-sized replica of a tropical island.’ A delivery driver arrived later that day, confusedly unloading coconuts onto the fake sandy beach while everyone watched from behind their desks. Eventually, someone noticed that the 'island' had working palm trees and a little waterfall—complete with fish swimming around. By lunchtime, the entire staff was picnicking on what they thought was just another boring Monday.

2. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the bank's vault, he noticed something peculiar: one of the packages seemed to be humming softly. Curious, but not alarmed, he picked it up and gave it a gentle tap—only to hear it sing 'Happy Birthday' in a tinny voice. As he tapped it again, the package started singing 'Happy Birthday' louder, causing quite a commotion inside the vault. Startled, the delivery driver quickly placed it back in the box and ran out, leaving the package behind. Since then, locals say that on special occasions, you might just hear PNC Bank humming birthday songs.

3. One evening, after hours, a security guard was making his rounds when he heard a voice from behind the counter: ‘Excuse me, sir, but could you please tell me how much money is in that safe?’ The guard turned around and saw an old man with a shopping bag full of groceries. 'Ah,' said the guard, smiling. 'You must be one of our neighbors.' The man nodded, adjusting his glasses. 'Just checking if I can trust my savings here or should I start growing potatoes in the garden?' Everyone laughed, including the guard, who unlocked the vault and wished him a good night.

4. One night, as a security guard patrolled the empty lobby, he heard a voice whispering from behind the counter: ‘Open early tomorrow, will ya? Need some cash.’ The next morning, when the bank opened, everyone found out that the safe had been cleverly unlocked without causing any alarms. The only thing missing was one dollar bill, neatly folded and left on top of the register with a note: 'Thanks for helping out an old friend!' Turns out it was just an April Fool’s prank by a delivery driver who wanted free coffee.
