About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when PNC Bank's neon sign flickered on, a mysterious shadow began appearing in the reflection of its glass facade. A regular noticed it first—an old man with a fedora and a cane, always standing motionless, never entering or leaving. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and asked, ‘Excuse me, sir, do you work here?’ The old man didn’t move. Another customer whispered, ‘He’s just waiting for the sign to turn off.’ Sure enough, as soon as the lights dimmed, he vanished like magic. Since then, locals joke that PNC Bank has an invisible janitor who only works at night.

2. At closing time, when the PNC Bank’s security guard locked up for the night, he noticed something peculiar scrawled on the glass door in white paint: ‘The next person who uses our ATM will win a free coffee.’ Curious, the guard decided not to erase it. The next morning, an excited delivery driver rushed inside claiming he was the lucky one. To everyone's surprise, the guard had bought a big bag of coffee and started giving them away randomly throughout the day. Word spread quickly, and soon neighbors were stopping by just to try their luck—all ending with a free cup of joe.

3. One autumn morning, as a delivery driver approached the PNC Bank, he noticed something odd: every time he honked his horn, the bank’s clock seemed to pause for exactly three seconds. Curious, the driver mentioned it to a neighbor who happened to be an amateur watchmaker. Together they found that the clock was just a little off-kilter and needed a gentle nudge to keep ticking properly. From then on, whenever someone drove by honking their horn, everyone in town knew it meant ‘time for a quick adjustment.’

4. At closing time, when the PNC Bank’s security guard locked up for the night, an old man in a trench coat appeared out of nowhere and whispered into the empty lobby: ‘Don’t worry, I’m just here to audit your dreams.’ The next morning, no one remembered anything unusual until a delivery driver mentioned he dreamed about delivering pies to ghosts. The guard laughed it off, but from then on, whenever anyone walked past that bank late at night, they’d catch a whiff of fresh-baked apple pie.
