About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the Colorado State Bank and announced with a straight face: 'I’ve got a package for the teller who always wears cowboy boots.' Inside, everyone froze for a moment—then broke into laughter. The teller, wearing her trusty boots, calmly replied, ‘That would be me!’ Turns out she’d been working there so long that even the delivery guy knew her quirks. He grinned sheepishly and handed over the package, saying, ‘Happy Friday!’

2. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an old man in a tweed suit approached the Colorado State Bank's front door. He fumbled with an ancient keychain, muttering something about 'the good ol' days'. Finally, he found the right key and opened the door. Inside, everything was exactly as it should be—old safes, dusty ledgers, and a sign that read ‘Closed Sundays.’ With a satisfied smile, he pulled out a sandwich from his briefcase and settled down for breakfast. A delivery driver passing by shook his head and muttered, ‘That’s one dedicated retiree!’

3. One day, while customers were settling in for their usual routine, a voice crackled over the intercom at the Colorado State Bank. ‘Attention all depositors,’ it said, ‘we’ve just received word that today’s interest rates are so low, you might as well keep your money under the mattress!’ A confused delivery driver walked up to the counter and asked, 'Excuse me, but does anyone here know what an “interest rate” is?' The teller smiled and replied, 'Not anymore!' And everyone laughed, even though no one really understood what was going on.

4. At closing time, a small dog raced into the Colorado State Bank lobby, ignoring the guards' calls. It frantically ran towards the vault, stopping only to sniff something odd before scurrying out again. As it turned out, the little guy was just a neighborhood watchdog who thought someone had left a juicy steak in the vault. The next day, everyone brought their lunch to work—including a regular who accidentally locked himself inside the bank’s safe deposit box while trying to hide his homemade cookies.
