About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a PNC Bank security guard heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the vault. Curious but cautious, he approached the source only to discover that it seemed to be emanating from an old safe deposit box. As he peered closer, he saw an envelope taped inside the box. Curiosity got the better of him, and when he opened it, out popped a sleepy hamster wearing a tiny suit and carrying a briefcase! Turns out, a regular had accidentally left his pet in the vault during a rush. The guard returned Mr. Scrooge McHammy safely to his owner with a hearty laugh, and ever since then, whenever someone mentions PNC Bank, people remember not just its vaults, but also its furry little mascot.

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the PNC Bank's drive-through window. As he approached, he swore he could smell fresh-baked cookies wafting from inside. The driver looked around suspiciously but saw no one. He leaned closer to the microphone and asked if they had any cookies for sale. The voice on the other end replied calmly, 'No sir, we're just a bank.' The driver drove off, muttering something about hungry banks and stale doughnuts.

3. At dusk, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother, ‘Look, Mommy, there’s a ghost in the PNC Bank!’ Her mom glanced over but saw nothing unusual—until she noticed the bank’s neon sign flickering ominously. Just then, an old lady walking by stopped and smiled warmly, saying, 'Oh honey, that’s not a ghost—it’s just the electricity going wonky again.' The little girl giggled, and they both watched as the sign blinked back to life. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the PNC Bank ghost, everyone knew it was just an old neighborhood joke.

4. Have you ever noticed how quiet it gets inside the PNC Bank after closing time? One night, a late-night customer wondered aloud if the tellers were still counting money in secret. Suddenly, one of the ceiling tiles fell down, revealing a small room filled with old newspapers and dusty boxes. The late-night customer laughed, realizing that the only thing happening after hours was probably an annual spring cleaning.
