About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached U.S. Bank's loading dock, he stopped short—startled by an eerie humming sound that seemed to come from inside the building. Curious but cautious, he called out softly into the darkness: 'Hello? Is anyone there?' Suddenly, a sleepy voice replied from within: ‘Hey, can you turn off that blasted security light outside? It’s keeping me awake.’ The delivery driver chuckled and obliged, realizing it was just an overactive alarm. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to the friendly ghost—or so he thought—a neighbor who’d forgotten his keys again.

2. Early in the morning, when most banks were still locked tight, an old man walked up to U.S. Bank’s front door. He knocked three times and waited. Finally, the door opened a crack, and a sleepy security guard peered out. The old man whispered something about needing his account balance before dawn. The guard shook his head and said, ‘Sir, it’s Sunday—we’re closed!’ With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, ‘Then I guess I’ll just have to come back tomorrow.’

3. A security guard dozed off behind the counter one afternoon, unaware that someone had slipped into the bank's basement through an open window. Suddenly, a delivery driver appeared in the lobby, asking for directions to the restroom. The guard woke up with a start and rushed upstairs, leaving the door wide open. Moments later, a regular customer walked down from the street, thinking he was entering his own branch. Everyone ended up laughing when they realized what happened—except maybe the guard, who probably got a good scolding.

4. Late one night, a delivery driver approached U.S. Bank’s loading dock and noticed something unusual—a soft humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only flickering lights and shadows. Suddenly, an old cash register started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on its own. Startled, the driver ran back to his truck, but when he returned minutes later, everything was quiet again. From then on, locals joked that U.S. Bank had a secret party planner who only worked late nights.
