About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Wells Fargo, every afternoon around closing time, a regular would arrive with an old leather satchel. His young son, sitting in the car, always craned his neck to watch as the man disappeared inside the bank. One day, just before he entered, the boy pointed excitedly: ‘Dad, look! The sign is waving!’ The father smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s not a wave—it’s just the wind blowing.’ But from then on, whenever they passed by, the boy insisted on watching intently for any movement in the sign. Years later, when the old man finally retired, the new teller noticed something peculiar: every day at exactly three o’clock, someone would walk up to the sign, give it a gentle pat, and whisper, “Hey, Wells Fargo, I’m here!”

2. At Wells Fargo, customers started noticing strange items appearing in the lobby after hours. One day, someone found a vintage teddy bear nestled among the deposit slips. Soon enough, employees began finding old postcards, antique coins, and even an ancient pocket watch hidden amidst the paperwork. One evening, a delivery driver discovered a small note reading, ‘Thanks for your patience—your wish is our command!’ Turns out, it was just a friendly prank by a neighborhood kid who loved visiting the bank.

3. At Wells Fargo, every morning before opening, a small dog would appear in the lobby, sniffing around the teller desks and wagging its tail. Employees tried ignoring it, but soon noticed that the canine always left behind a neatly folded note with a mysterious message. One day, an elderly lady approached the counter and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, do you know what that little dog wants?’ The teller shrugged and said, ‘No idea ma’am.’ The old woman smiled wisely and whispered, ‘He’s just trying to cash his paycheck!’

4. At Wells Fargo, every week on Thursday, a mysterious envelope would mysteriously appear in the mail slot just as employees were locking up for the day. Inside was always a note with a riddle or funny message, signed simply ‘A Regular’. Eventually, staff started competing to solve the puzzles, and on Fridays they’d gather around the watercooler sharing their guesses. The last one read: 'Why did the envelope cross the street? To get to the other side!' Everyone laughed so hard that Friday afternoon meetings became tradition.
