About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their coffee and newspaper, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a curious expression. ‘Has anyone seen my receipt?’ he asked. The teller looked puzzled but then noticed something odd on the screen above her head: ‘LOST RECEIPT FOUND HERE.’ The teller smiled and said, 'Sir, I can help you.' She clicked a few buttons, and the message changed to 'RECEIPT FOUND IN YOUR PURSE'. The old man blushed and reached into his pocket, pulling out exactly the same receipt. Everyone laughed, including him, and that day became known around the bank as ‘Lost Receipt Friday.’

2. In the early afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the First State Bank of Colorado. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd—a small envelope tucked neatly between two crates. Curious, he opened it to find a handwritten note reading: ‘Dear Bank Employees, I hope you enjoy your surprise!’ Inside was a bag filled with colorful candies. As the employees laughed and unwrapped their treats, one elderly gentleman in a suit walked over curiously. Smiling warmly, he said, 'I believe this is our annual tradition—someone always leaves us candy on Mondays.' The delivery driver scratched his head sheepishly and muttered, 'Guess I'll have to be more careful where I hide my surprises next time!'

3. In the late afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to the First State Bank with a frown on his face. ‘Why is it always so windy here?’ he muttered, glancing around. Just then, an old lady approached him from behind, waving her umbrella. 'Goodness gracious,' she said, 'I thought you were just another gust!' The driver blinked in surprise and smiled sheepishly. 'Guess I’ll take that as a compliment,' he replied, shaking his head. From then on, whenever anyone asked why there was always a smile on his face, he’d say, “Because even banks can be charming.”

4. One day, while customers were browsing through the bank's safe deposit boxes, a regular asked curiously: ‘Do you think our money is actually stored here, or do they just keep receipts somewhere else?’ The teller smiled and replied with a twinkle in her eye, 'Oh, don't worry, sir. Your money is right here!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in, dropped off some packages, and asked if he could use the restroom. The customer turned to him and whispered, 'See? They’re not even keeping track!'
