About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo one morning and asked the guard, ‘Do you mind if I use your bathroom real quick?’ The guard replied, ‘No problem, but hurry—we’re expecting a famous robber any minute now!’ Just as the delivery driver was washing his hands, he heard footsteps approaching. Turning around, he saw nobody—but then he noticed the guard frantically waving him out. 'Hurry!' whispered the guard, pointing towards the exit. As the driver rushed out, he bumped into an old man who said, 'Morning, son. Just waiting for my turn in line.'

2. A security guard at Wells Fargo noticed something peculiar on the parking lot one afternoon. Among the usual trash and abandoned umbrellas lay an old, dusty violin case. The guard picked it up, curious what kind of music might be inside. To his surprise, when he opened it, there was just a note: ‘Please return to the nearest fiddle shop.’ Turned out someone had accidentally left their instrument here. The guard laughed, thinking maybe the universe was trying to tell him he needed some musical relief after all those years watching over the bank.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Wells Fargo one afternoon with a box marked ‘Important Documents.’ As he walked inside, he noticed an old coin collection lying in plain sight near the entrance. Curious, he picked it up and found that every coin had been meticulously arranged by date—except for one oddball penny from Mars. The delivery driver laughed, showing the coin to his colleagues later that day. They all agreed it must be some prank by a local astronomer-numismatist. And so, the legend of the Martian Penny at Wells Fargo became part of the bank’s urban folklore, attracting curious neighbors who stopped by just to see if another interstellar coin might appear.

4. A customer walked into Wells Fargo one day and asked the teller, ‘Do you guys really keep gold bars here?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘We do indeed.’ The customer paused for a moment, then added curiously, ‘And can I see them?’ The teller nodded confidently and pressed a button behind the counter. A few moments later, a large safe door opened with a dramatic *click*, revealing rows upon rows of gleaming gold bars. The customer’s eyes widened in awe, but then he whispered to the teller, ‘Can I take some home today? It’s my birthday!’ The teller laughed heartily and said, ‘Happy Birthday! We’ll just give you a commemorative coin instead.’
