About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One foggy morning, a UPS driver pulled up to the US Bank branch, glanced around warily, and whispered into his walkie-talkie: ‘I’m pretty sure I just saw a ghost in the lobby.’ Inside, an old gentleman with a top hat and cane was helping himself to pens from the counter drawer. The teller calmly asked him for identification, but he only smiled and said, 'Just borrowing some stationery, dear.' Everyone burst out laughing—turns out it was Mr. Jenkins, a regular who loved practical jokes.

2. At closing time one day, an elderly gentleman walked into the US Bank branch with a large cardboard box under his arm. The teller asked him what he wanted to deposit, but instead of money or documents, the man carefully placed something inside the vault and whispered, ‘Just my lucky charm.’ The next morning, everyone in line noticed that the bank’s security guard was wearing exactly the same kind of cardboard box on his head as the old man had carried in. When asked why, he simply smiled and said, 'Just my lucky charm!'

3. In a small town in the Midwest, after hours when everyone had gone home, a security guard noticed something unusual outside the US Bank branch. A little dog kept circling the building, sniffing intently at the entrance. As he watched curiously, the dog suddenly jumped up and pressed his paw on the door’s entry button. The automatic doors opened with a soft hum, startling both the guard and the canine. With that, the little dog wagged its tail happily and trotted inside, leaving the guard standing there, mouth agape, wondering if he’d just seen what he thought he saw.

4. In a quiet neighborhood of Chicago, late one night, a security guard patrolling the parking lot noticed something unusual. Among the usual cars and trucks, there sat a bicycle—with a basket full of dollar bills. Curious, he approached it cautiously. The money was real, but so were the notes scribbled on each bill: 'Happy New Year from your friendly neighborhood U.S. Bank!' Turns out, a delivery driver had accidentally left the cash-filled basket outside after an office party. Everyone got a good laugh—and free champagne the next day.
