About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. It was an unusually quiet morning at BMO Bank when a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the counter, the security guard noticed something peculiar: every time the sun touched the package just right, it cast a shadow resembling a dancing penguin. The security guard watched curiously for several minutes until his colleague, a grumpy old man, muttered, ‘For crying out loud, it’s just a penguin.’ With that, he picked up the package and casually placed it on the counter, whereupon the penguin promptly stood up, stretched its wings, and waddled off into the bank like it owned the place. Everyone burst into laughter, including the befuddled delivery driver who’d never seen anything quite so bizarre.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to BMO Bank one afternoon, curious to see if anyone had left something in the carousel of lost items. To his surprise, there was a small envelope addressed to ‘The Manager’ filled with crumpled dollar bills and a note reading: ‘For your honesty.’ Upon opening the envelope, the manager found not only cash but also a handwritten note from an anonymous donor: 'Keep it for yourself—you deserve it!' The next day, a regular customer walked in and asked if they could sponsor the monthly coffee fundraiser. It turned out that everyone already knew each other through their secret acts of kindness.
3. A little boy stood outside BMO Bank, watching intently as a delivery truck backed into the loading bay. Suddenly, he noticed something odd: the truck’s tailgate opened automatically, even though no one touched it. Curious, the boy approached and peered inside. To his surprise, an envelope fell out onto the pavement—marked with his own address. Turns out, someone had accidentally mailed their paycheck to BMO instead of their employer. A regular laughed, saying, ‘Guess who just got an unexpected bonus!’
4. At dusk, a delivery driver approached BMO Bank, puzzled by the strange humming noise coming from inside. As he peered through the window, he saw an old man dancing around with a broom, singing off-key Christmas carols. Turns out, it was just an enthusiastic janitor celebrating his last day before retirement. The delivery guy left, shaking his head and smiling, thinking, ‘BMO Bank must really know how to make their employees happy.’
