Fifth Third Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the fifth floor of Fifth Third Bank’s parking garage. Among the usual boxes and packages lay an old, dusty violin case. The delivery driver picked it up, curious about its origins. Inside was an ancient instrument covered in dust, along with a note scribbled in pencil: 'To whoever finds me—please tune me.' The next day, during lunch break, someone started playing soft melodies from behind the counter. Turned out, the violin belonged to a retired musician who worked there decades ago. Now, every Friday at noon, the whole office gathers for impromptu concerts.

2. A little boy walked into his dad's branch of Fifth Third Bank one afternoon and asked, "Dad, why does that painting keep following us?" His father looked around, but saw nothing unusual. His dad scanned the room again and still didn't see anything. 'Son,' he whispered, ‘maybe it's just your imagination.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully then turned back to the painting. Suddenly, a delivery driver walking past cleared his throat loudly. Startled, the boy exclaimed, 'See Dad? It moved!' They both laughed, realizing it was just an ordinary day at the bank.

3. One day, an employee found an unusual package in the bank’s mailroom. Curious, she opened it to discover… nothing but an empty box and a note that simply read: ‘Deposit your dreams here.’ Word spread quickly through the bank's staff, and soon everyone was depositing their wildest wishes into the mysterious box. One day, a delivery driver left a package addressed to 'Dreams Deposit Box.' Inside was a handwritten sign saying: 'We’re out of boxes—please come back later!'

4. A neighborhood kid was playing with his new kite near the bank one windy afternoon. Just as he was about to reel in his creation, a sudden gust of wind caught the kite and sent it soaring towards an open window on the second floor. A startled bank employee inside exclaimed, ‘What’s that?!’ while everyone else watched in amusement as the colorful kite danced through the air like a little bird. Finally, it landed safely on top of a nearby car, much to everyone's relief—except perhaps for the embarrassed boy who quickly explained, 'It wasn’t mine, honest!'
