About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to PNC Bank and said to himself, 'I bet no one ever robs a bank here.' Suddenly, everyone in line for the ATM started whispering... Everyone went silent as he walked up to the front of the queue. The delivery driver smiled sheepishly and announced, ‘I’ve got twenty boxes of donuts—who wants to rob a bank with me?’ A regular chuckled, ‘You’re on!’ And so began the greatest doughnut heist in Pittsburgh history.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into PNC Bank and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, can you please change my dollars into cents? I’m running out of small coins for my vending machine.’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Sir, you don’t need us for that—just use our handy-dandy ATM!' The old man nodded wisely, took a deep breath, and said, 'Ah, young lady, in my day we didn’t have such fancy machines.' Then he winked and left, whistling an unfamiliar tune.

3. Late one night, a security guard patrolling PNC Bank heard a strange humming noise coming from inside the vault. Curious but cautious, he approached the door only to see a small, glowing orb floating just out of reach. As he watched, the little ball began to spin faster and brighter until it suddenly shot through the air towards him. Startled, the guard ducked behind a nearby desk—only to realize that his coffee cup was now levitating above the counter. Turning around, he saw an embarrassed-looking pigeon flying away with a bagel stuck in its beak. ‘That explains everything,’ he muttered, shaking his head.

4. Early one autumn morning, as customers were just arriving for their daily routine, the doors of PNC Bank suddenly burst open with a loud bang. A small brown bird flew straight through the entrance, causing everyone inside to gasp in surprise. The flustered teller tried to shoo it away, but the little fellow was determined and landed on top of an unsuspecting customer’s briefcase. Everyone laughed when the man started waving his arms wildly, trying to scare off the tiny intruder. Finally, a delivery driver calmly approached and gently scooped up the bird, which promptly chirped happily and flew out the door. Since then, PNC Bank has been known around town as ‘the place where birds have banking etiquette’.
