About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the bank’s loading dock—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with twine. Curious, he picked it up and carried it inside, thinking it might be misplaced. But as he opened the box later that day, he found nothing but an old note reading: ‘Take care of what you’ve found here.’ The delivery driver shrugged, puzzled but not alarmed. He placed the mysterious note on his desk and went home. Later that evening, while sorting through some old papers, his wife exclaimed, 'Hey, look at this! It says “take care”...' They both burst out laughing—turns out the note was from their nine-year-old son who had left it behind when playing hide-and-seek earlier that day.

2. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman approached the Wells Fargo branch and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, but how do I withdraw money from this bank without actually entering?’ The teller smiled politely and replied, 'Sir, you can simply walk through those doors over there.' The old man nodded wisely and said, 'Ah, of course!' Then he turned around and walked right past the entrance, into the park across the street. Everyone burst out laughing as he sat down on a bench, pulled out his wallet, and started counting his cash.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Wells Fargo loading dock with a truck full of packages. As he unloaded crates, he noticed something odd—an old, battered guitar case nestled among the boxes. Curious, he opened it and found an ancient ukulele inside—a gift from the mysterious neighbor down the street who always left little surprises for everyone. Turns out, it was his way of saying thanks for delivering their packages on time every day.

4. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo to make a deposit. As he stepped out of his truck, his dog began barking frantically at the building's entrance. The driver looked around but saw nothing unusual—until he glanced down at the cash drawer in his hand. To his surprise, it was glowing softly in the dim light. Suddenly, another employee walked outside and asked what was going on. The driver showed him the glowing drawer, and they both laughed when they realized it was just an old coin stuck inside reflecting the streetlight. From then on, everyone joked that Wells Fargo had its very own ‘magic money box’.
