About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a delivery driver approached the Capital One branch, he noticed an odd sound coming from inside—a rhythmic tapping that seemed to match the beat of a distant drum circle. Curious, he parked and peered through the glass doors. Inside, he saw only empty desks and quiet computers, but then he heard it again—this time clearer, like someone gently knocking on wood. Suddenly, a voice said, 'Delivery for Mr. Johnson?' Everyone in the neighborhood knew that no one named Johnson worked there, so they all started laughing. The delivery guy smiled, shook his head, and left, muttering something about ‘weird banks.’

2. Late one night, a neighbor walked past the illuminated sign of Capital One and swore it blinked ‘Free Money.’ Curious, they returned every few days only to see the same mysterious message. Was it a glitch or a secret offer? Finally, after weeks of watching, our curious neighbor decided to enter the branch. The teller smiled and said, 'Welcome to Capital One—we don’t give away free money, but we do help you save!' The neighbor left, muttering, ‘I should’ve known it was too good to be true…’

3. Late one afternoon, a young intern was frantically typing away on her laptop when she heard a familiar voice from behind. "Excuse me, miss?" She turned around to see an elderly gentleman smiling warmly at her. “May I help you?” she asked politely. The old man smiled and pointed at her screen. “I used to work here,” he said softly. “That’s our new logo, isn’t it? Quite modern, don’t you think?” With that, he gently took her coffee cup and poured himself a cup of water, then vanished into thin air. The intern blinked, sipped her now-lukewarm drink, and thought, ‘Well, that explains why they hired so many techies.’

4. Late one night, a security guard patrolled the empty streets near Capital One. Suddenly, his flashlight reflected off something unusual in the window. Curious, he peered closer and saw a silhouette of a man wearing a suit, waving frantically from inside. The guard waved back, thinking it was just some late-night customer. Turns out, it was only a delivery driver trying to signal that his package had been delivered.
