About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into Synovus Bank and pointed excitedly at something on the wall. Her mother looked up too—and saw nothing but a plain old clock. Yet every time she visited afterward, it seemed to move slightly, as if someone had reset it without anyone noticing. Finally, curious neighbors started gathering around the clock. A delivery driver even brought out his toolbox, claiming he could fix it. But when he touched the clock, it jumped ahead an hour! Everyone burst out laughing—except for poor Mom, who was now an hour late for work. The next day, Synovus replaced the clock with one that never moved, and everyone agreed it was much more reliable.

2. One day, as a delivery driver approached Synovus Bank, he noticed an unusual note taped to the door. It read: ‘Bank Closed for Lunch — Please Come Back Later.’ Curious, he returned after lunch only to find the same sign. And so it went every day until someone finally asked: who’s having lunch for four hours?’ Finally, a curious neighbor decided to investigate and found the manager napping in his office with a sandwich on one hand and a book on the other. The sign was just a prank left there daily by the manager himself. Since then, locals joke that Synovus has the longest lunch break ever—and everyone knows where to find the best deals on sandwiches around town.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to Synovus Bank, puzzled by a strange humming sound coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old man in a suit dancing around stacks of cash, singing along to some unknown tune. Startled, the delivery guy knocked on the door, only for the man to turn around with a smile and say, ‘Oh, hello there! Just doing my weekly exercise routine.’

4. A neighborhood dog began visiting Synovus Bank every afternoon, sitting patiently outside until its owner arrived. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized package. Thinking it was for him, the dog eagerly jumped inside and found himself trapped in a box of pens. For several minutes, everyone watched as the poor pooch frantically tried to escape, leaving ink marks all over his fur. Eventually, a neighbor rescued him, and they both walked away laughing.
