SunTrust

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, an old man in a tweed suit appeared on the steps of SunTrust. He carried a leather briefcase and spoke softly into an invisible microphone. The old man whispered something, then disappeared as quickly as he came. Later that morning, a delivery driver noticed a small envelope under the bench where the man had been standing. Inside was a handwritten note: 'Dear SunTrust, I believe you’ve missed your opening ceremony.' Everyone laughed it off until they realized he was right—it turned out to be the best publicity stunt ever.}

2. One morning, while customers were sipping coffee and checking balances, someone noticed something peculiar on the security camera feed. A small bird had flown into the bank's lobby and was frantically pecking at the teller counter. As everyone watched in amazement, the little bird kept darting between the keys of the cash register, as if it were playing a game. Finally, an old lady from the next cubicle said, 'Honey, I think that bird is trying to rob us!' And just like that, the entire bank erupted in laughter—except for one delivery driver who thought he should probably call animal control.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to SunTrust with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I keep hearing these strange noises,’ he said, ‘but I can’t see anything.’ As he stepped inside, he heard a faint voice coming from behind the counter: 'Don’t be alarmed, sir—just our old safe doing its nightly hum.' The delivery driver relaxed and chuckled, realizing it was just an ancient vault warming up for business. From then on, whenever anyone asked about odd sounds in the bank, everyone smiled and said, 'That’s just SunTrust saying hello!'

4. In the middle of a quiet weekday afternoon, a young teller was helping her last customer before heading home for lunch. Suddenly, she heard a soft tapping sound coming from behind the counter. Curious, she turned around and found an elderly gentleman tapping his walking stick on the floor. ‘Excuse me,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye, ‘I seem to have misplaced my deposit slip.’ The teller laughed and helped him search until they found it tucked under the counter. As she walked away whistling, she thought she saw the old man wink at her—a friendly reminder that sometimes life’s little mysteries bring a smile.
