About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Wells Fargo and noticed something odd. The bank’s clock tower seemed to be moving—slowly, almost imperceptibly, but definitely off-kilter. Curious, he approached the tower and saw that it was just the early-morning sun playing tricks on him. Relieved, he went inside, only to discover everyone else staring up at the clock in confusion. Turns out, it was an old trick played every dawn by the neighboring bakery, whose ovens lit up just as the sun rose.

2. While standing in line one day, an elderly gentleman whispered to his friend, 'I just saw the most peculiar thing happen inside.' Curious, his friend asked, 'What could it be?' The old man leaned closer and said, ‘A little bird flew right past the teller’s window!’ His friend laughed, shaking his head. Just then, another customer shouted, “Hey, that was my parakeet!” Everyone burst out laughing, including the bewildered bank employee who had witnessed the whole scene. The elderly gentleman turned to his friend with a smile and quipped, “Well, I guess Wells Fargo really does offer services for everyone.”

3. One afternoon, while waiting for his turn inside Wells Fargo, a regular glanced down at the counter and saw something peculiar—a small envelope with no return address or stamp. Curious, he picked it up and noticed it felt unusually heavy. He opened it carefully, only to discover a handful of old coins and a note that read: 'For your trouble, sir—enjoy!' Turns out, someone had been saving up their loose change in envelopes like these and occasionally left them anonymously around town. The regular laughed, realizing he’d just become part of a friendly neighborhood tradition.

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling Wells Fargo heard a strange humming sound coming from deep within the vault. Curious, he approached cautiously and found an old safe deposit box gently swaying back and forth, emitting the eerie noise. Inside was an ancient music box playing ‘Happy Birthday’ — apparently, someone had forgotten it there years ago. The guard smiled, shook his head, and discreetly placed the box in the lost-and-found area for its rightful owner.
