About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl walked into her grandfather’s Westamerica Bank branch and asked the teller, ‘Can I deposit my invisible piggy bank?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Of course you can!’ The next day, an elderly gentleman came in with his invisible briefcase full of money. The teller nodded knowingly and said, 'Good morning, Mr. Smith!' As they finished their transaction, a delivery driver outside shouted, 'Hey, that’s not our package!' Turns out, everyone was just carrying around their imagination—until the real bills finally arrived.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to the Westamerica Bank one afternoon with a peculiar package. ‘What’s inside?’ he asked the guard curiously. The guard just smiled mysteriously. Finally, the driver got fed up and said, ‘Look, I’ve been here for an hour! What’s in that box?!’ The guard leaned closer and whispered, ‘It’s a time capsule from 1987—just opened it.’ The driver shook his head and drove off muttering, ‘Next time I deliver to a bank, I’ll ask for a raise!’
3. A neighborhood kid rode his bicycle past the Westamerica Bank every day after school. One rainy afternoon, he noticed something strange: the reflection of his own wet face kept appearing on the glass door—except it wasn’t him. It was an older gentleman who seemed to be waving from inside. Curious, he stopped and waved back. The man smiled warmly and motioned for him to come closer. Turning around, the boy saw no one else outside. When he told his parents that night, they laughed and said it was just a trick of the rain and glass. But whenever it rained afterward, the boy would ride by slowly, waving at the empty doorway—and eventually, so did everyone in the neighborhood.
4. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, an old dog began visiting the Westamerica Bank. He would sit outside for hours, staring intently at the front door until it finally opened. One morning, a delivery driver noticed him and offered a treat. The dog wagged his tail, accepted it gratefully, then trotted off with a big smile on his face. From then on, whenever anyone saw that dog, they’d wave and say, ‘Morning, Mr. Westamerica Bank!’ It turned out he was just a friendly canine who loved early-morning snacks.
