About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside First Bank and noticed something odd. The security guard was standing motionless near the entrance, eyes fixed on an empty spot in mid-air. Curious, the driver walked over and tapped the guard’s shoulder. He jolted back to life with a startled expression, apologizing profusely for not noticing him. Turns out, he’d been daydreaming about winning the lottery, imagining how he’d spend the money. Everyone had a good laugh, and from then on, the whole neighborhood teased him about being ‘richer than Bill Gates’ when he dozed off.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman entered First Bank and asked the teller for help with his account. After a few minutes, he left smiling, but later that afternoon, a notice appeared on the front door: ‘For your safety, please do not mention anything about yesterday’s conversation.’ Later, a delivery driver mentioned casually to another employee, 'Did you hear what old man said yesterday?' The employee nodded solemnly and replied, 'No comments.' The driver laughed, thinking it was some inside joke, until one day he too received a note: 'Please don’t discuss today’s package.'

3. One afternoon, a customer walked into First Bank with a bag of flour under each arm. ‘Excuse me,’ he said to the teller, ‘can you please exchange these bags for some cash?’ The teller looked puzzled but replied, 'I’m sorry sir, I can only exchange currency.' The man nodded and calmly walked out, leaving behind two empty flour bags. Later that day, another customer approached the same teller, holding a box of cookies. 'Can I exchange these?' he asked. The teller smiled and shook her head. 'No, I'm afraid not,' she laughed. 'But thank you anyway!'

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolling near First Bank heard a strange humming sound coming from inside the building's basement. Curious, he followed the noise down the stairs and found an old vending machine stuck in the corner. Inside was a delivery driver trying to fix it with a soldering iron. ‘What are you doing here?’ asked the guard. The driver grinned sheepishly, replying, “Just helping myself to a late-night snack.”
