About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when even the Bank of Colorado seemed asleep, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The neon sign above the entrance flickered on and off in an eerie rhythm, as if someone were playing with its switches from inside. Curious, the driver approached the door, which opened silently. Inside, amidst the quiet, he saw only a sleepy security guard dozing behind the counter. ‘Sir,’ whispered the driver gently, tapping his finger on the counter, ‘your neon sign was blinking like mad.’ The guard yawned, stretched, then replied groggily, ‘Oh that? That’s just my new nighttime entertainment—watching it dance!’

2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Bank of Colorado and asked the guard: ‘Why does your vault look like it’s made for a giant?’ The guard grinned and replied, 'Well, you see, our town is home to a friendly giant who likes to keep his savings here!' The delivery driver scratched his head and said, 'That explains everything.' And from that day on, whenever anyone asked why the vault was so big, they’d just smile and say, 'Oh, it's for the giant's Bank of Colorado.'

3. One foggy morning, as a delivery driver approached the Bank of Colorado, he muttered under his breath, ‘I hope they don’t mind if I park here for just one minute.’ Just then, an old neighbor walked by and asked, ‘What are you doing?’ The driver replied, ‘Just waiting for my five minutes.’ The neighbor shook his head and said, ‘You’ve been parked there since last week!’ The driver sheepishly smiled and drove off, muttering, ‘Guess it’s time to find another place to rest my wheels.’

4. In the dim light of dawn, a young boy walked past the Bank of Colorado. Suddenly, he stopped in surprise, pointing at something on the ground. Upon closer inspection, the boy saw that it was just an old coin. With a smile, he picked it up and ran inside to show his amazed grandmother. ‘Look Gran,’ he said excitedly, ‘the Bank of Colorado gave me a present!’ His grandmother laughed gently and replied, “Honey, they don’t give out coins anymore—someone must’ve lost it.’ The boy shrugged, happy with his newfound treasure.
