About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to M&T Bank and noticed something odd—all the security cameras seemed to be pointed inwards, watching the inside of the building instead of the street. Curious, he knocked on the door, and much to his surprise, an elderly gentleman emerged from inside, smiling warmly. ‘Morning!’ said the man. ‘We’re just doing some maintenance today. Everything’s fine.’ The delivery driver nodded, shook his head, and drove off, muttering, 'Strangest thing I've seen since that time my neighbor thought I was a UPS guy.'

2. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the teller counter and asked, ‘Do you accept deposits in dollars or cents?’ Everyone in line burst out laughing, but no one could explain why he’d suddenly started counting pennies. The teller smiled warmly and replied, 'Of course, sir, we take both!' The old man nodded wisely, then turned around and walked away, muttering something about inflation these days being a real headache. No one ever saw him again, but whenever someone counted their change too carefully, they whispered, 'Must be our secret bank customer.'

3. One afternoon, a customer walked into M&T Bank and exclaimed, 'Excuse me, but why is there a small pond growing in your lobby?' A perplexed teller replied, ‘Oh, that’s our new water feature!’ The customer shook his head and said, ‘Next time you decide on an aquatic theme, maybe choose somewhere else for your branch.’ As he left, everyone burst out laughing—except for one delivery driver who asked if they deliver fish.’

4. At dawn one foggy morning, a jogger passing by M&T Bank heard strange music coming from inside. Curious, he peered through the glass doors and saw no one—just an empty lobby playing an old-timey waltz. Suddenly, a delivery driver walked in, humming along with the tune. Thinking it was part of some secret celebration, everyone joined in—a waltzing security guard, a chatty teller, even a quiet janitor tapping his broom to the rhythm. By lunchtime, the whole bank was dancing, and customers were lining up just to witness the daily musical surprise.
