About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Citizens Bank, every morning around 8 AM, a regular would arrive with his old bicycle and a bag of cookies for the tellers. One day, a little girl noticed that whenever he passed through the parking lot, the birds would suddenly fly away in unison. One morning, the little girl asked her dad, ‘Why do the birds leave when our baker friend rides past?’ Her dad smiled and whispered, ‘They must be following him because they know where the best cookies are!’ From then on, everyone at Citizens Bank joked that the real vault wasn’t gold but freshly baked treats.

2. At Citizens Bank, on cold winter mornings, an old gentleman in a fur hat and scarf would appear just before opening time. He’d walk straight up to the front door, knock three times, then wait for exactly two minutes before leaving without entering. One day, a delivery driver noticed him and decided to join the tradition. After waiting his turn, he knocked three times too—only to realize he was holding a giant box of pancakes. The old man laughed heartily, shook his head, and walked away, muttering something about ‘youngsters these days’.

3. At Citizens Bank, one day after lunch, a teller noticed something peculiar: a small bag of freshly baked cookies had appeared on the counter. No note, no person seen leaving it. Curious colleagues soon surrounded the counter, trying to guess who might’ve left such a sweet surprise. Hours later, when everyone was almost forgetting about it, an anonymous voice whispered from behind: ‘Cookies for everyone—now get back to work!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly neighborhood baker delivering his daily batch early.

4. At Citizens Bank, during afternoon coffee breaks, employees often notice a strange phenomenon near the drive-thru window. Every time a delivery driver pulls up, he asks for the same thing: ‘Can I please have one cup of silence?’ One day, an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked for his usual cup of silence. The teller smiled and said, 'Sir, you know we're not allowed to give away silence.' To which he replied, 'Oh, then can I have two cups of coffee?' Everyone in the bank burst out laughing.
