About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Wintrust Bank and noticed something odd: every time he approached the automatic doors, they would emit a soft, tinkling sound like tiny bells ringing in harmony. Curious, the driver mentioned it to his colleagues. Soon, everyone in the neighborhood knew about the singing doors. One day, an old lady from across the street stopped by with a box of cookies, thanking them for the daily serenade. Since then, whenever anyone approaches those doors, they can't help but smile.
2. One day, a regular customer entered Wintrust Bank and exclaimed, ‘I just saw my reflection in that mirror—it’s wearing a suit!’ The teller smiled knowingly and replied, ‘Oh, don’t worry sir, it’s just our new security camera disguised as a mirror.’ The man nodded, relieved, and left, muttering under his breath, ‘Guess I’ll never be able to pull off a suit like that!’
3. One autumn afternoon, when the wind howled like an angry ghost through Chicago’s streets, a delivery driver pulled up to Wintrust Bank. He glanced around nervously—was that a shadow moving in the corner of the empty parking lot? As he approached the door, his foot slipped on something wet—a discarded banana peel from lunch. With a loud thud, he landed face-first into the glass entranceway, attracting curious stares from nearby buildings. A friendly neighbor rushed over and asked, 'Are you okay, Mr. Delivery Driver?' Embarrassed but unharmed, he replied, ‘Just another day at Wintrust Bank!’
4. One night, as a delivery driver unloaded boxes into Wintrust Bank's vault, he swore he heard laughter echoing from inside the empty building. Curious, he paused and listened more closely—only to realize it was just his colleague, a regular guy next door, cracking wise through the intercom about an early payday. The delivery driver laughed it off, shaking his head, and finished his shift with a newfound appreciation for office pranks.
