About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. On an unusually quiet Sunday morning in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to Chase Bank with something unusual in his truck. As he approached the front door, employees inside noticed a strange glow coming from one of the teller windows. Curious, one employee leaned over and whispered, ‘Maybe it’s just their new security system!’ They opened the window, and out popped a small robotic arm holding a coffee cup. Turns out, the delivery guy had mistakenly delivered a neighbor’s espresso machine instead of cash. Everyone had a good laugh—except for the poor driver who now owed someone a fancy coffee.

2. At dawn one foggy morning, a delivery driver approached Chase Bank with a mysterious package under his arm. As he unlocked the door, a soft humming filled the air—something between a cash register and a distant melody. Curious passersby peered through the glass doors as the music grew louder. Inside, the delivery driver danced clumsily around the empty lobby, trying to open the package. Eventually, an old security guard appeared from behind the counter, tapping his foot in time. ‘Young man,’ he said, smiling warmly, ‘looks like you found your rhythm!’

3. At first light, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver approached Chase Bank with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. Inside, everyone soon realized, was something no one had expected—a live parrot that began chirping ‘Overdraft fee! Overdraft fee!’ whenever anyone came close. The bird became an instant celebrity among locals, and every morning, crowds gathered outside Chase Bank just to hear its funny warning. Soon enough, the bank installed a small aviary on the roof, where the parrot happily lived out his days, keeping tabs on overdrafts for free.

4. At dusk, a delivery driver approached Chase Bank and muttered, 'This is the last time I take such a roundabout route.' Just then, an old lady walked out of the bank and asked him for directions. ‘You’re standing right in front of it,’ he grumbled. She smiled sweetly and said, “I know, but my husband always gets lost coming here.” The delivery driver shook his head, mumbled something about bad navigation apps, and drove off—vowing never to use that shortcut again.
