Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when a Fifth Third Bank teller noticed something peculiar. A delivery driver arrived in his truck, but instead of heading straight inside, he circled the building three times before stopping. The teller watched curiously as the driver got out and started waving at someone across the street. Turned out it was just a neighbor asking for directions to the post office. With a shrug, the driver finished his errand and left without even entering the bank. The teller shook her head with a smile—some days, nothing is quite what it seems.

2. One day, while waiting in line at Fifth Third Bank, a regular asked the teller: ‘Do you ever wonder if our money is actually made of paper or just really thin plastic?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Well, sir, I’ve never thought much about it—until now.' Just then, a delivery driver walked up and handed her an envelope. She opened it, pulled out some cash, and said, 'Here’s your change!' The regular laughed and left, thinking maybe his question wasn’t so serious after all.

3. A delivery driver parked his truck near the Fifth Third Bank one afternoon and noticed something peculiar on the ground—a small, dusty wooden box with no label or markings. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside. The box contained an old, rusted key that unlocked a nearby storage room. Inside was a forgotten stash of donuts from a local bakery. The delivery driver shared them with his colleagues, becoming a hero for the day. A neighbor quipped, ‘Now I know why they never closed early!’

4. A curious old man entered the Fifth Third Bank one autumn afternoon, asking each teller he approached if they could change his dollar bill into ‘happiness.’ One of the tellers smiled and said, 'Sir, I can’t give you happiness for a dollar.' The old man nodded thoughtfully and replied, 'Thank you anyway, young lady. Maybe I'll just keep it as luck!' And with that, he left, whistling an unfamiliar tune. To this day, employees at Fifth Third Bank say they sometimes hear him humming in the distance when things get too quiet.
