About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the bank’s loading dock—a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No return address or label, just an old-fashioned note scribbled in pencil: ‘Open only if you’re honest.’ The delivery driver carefully untied the string and opened the package. Inside was a rusty coin purse filled with pennies, each dated from different decades. A note read: 'If you're honest, help yourself.' The next day, someone found another package—this time it contained old photos of the neighborhood. And so began a tradition: whenever anyone needed a smile, they left small treasures for the next honest soul.

2. One day, after closing hours, a security guard heard strange noises coming from the basement vault. Curious, he approached cautiously and found an old safe door ajar. Inside, a tiny hand reached out and said, ‘Excuse me, sir—can you help me get my toy back?’ The guard looked down and saw a small robot with a dented helmet holding a shiny coin. 'Oh, you're here for your treasure hunt,' he smiled. The little bot nodded enthusiastically. With a twinkle in his eye, the guard helped it retrieve its prize—a commemorative gold piece meant for display. As they emerged together into the lobby, everyone laughed when they noticed the robot had left behind a business card reading: "Wells Fargo Robotics Security Specialist".

3. Have you ever seen a cow wandering around downtown? Well, one afternoon, a curious customer asked the teller if they could deposit some milk checks. The teller smiled and replied, ‘We only accept checks here, sir.’ The man nodded and said, ‘Fair enough,’ before leaving with his bucket of fresh milk. A few minutes later, another customer walked in—a delivery driver—asking if he could cash an egg check. Everyone in line burst out laughing, including the poor confused driver.

4. One foggy morning, a teller noticed an unusual customer in line—an old man dressed as if for a picnic, carrying a basket filled with sandwiches and bottles of water. As he approached the counter, the teller asked what he needed. With a twinkle in his eye, the old man replied, 'Just checking my balance, dear.' The teller smiled and said, 'You’re always here around lunchtime!' Turned out, he was just visiting every day for a free sandwich and a chat.
