About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a little girl walked into First Citizens Bank and pointed at the ceiling, whispering excitedly, ‘Mommy, look! The tellers are waving at us!’ Her mom just smiled, thinking it was her imagination—until she looked up too. As they watched, the tellers waved back with big smiles on their faces. Mom laughed and said, 'Honey, it's probably just a trick of the light.' But then a delivery driver walking by turned around and shouted, 'Hey, they're definitely waving!' Everyone inside burst out laughing, realizing that sometimes our imaginations can make even banks seem like a friendly place.

2. One day, while an elderly gentleman was withdrawing money from First Citizens Bank, he heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Benjamin Franklin please come to the teller window?’ The old man looked around puzzled, then walked up to the counter with a smile. The teller said, 'Mr. Franklin, you’ve been overdrawing your account for weeks!' Everyone burst out laughing, including our surprised gentleman who turned out to be just a regular named Joe.}

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside First Citizens Bank. As he unloaded boxes, he swore he heard soft laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw only dusty desks and old computers. Suddenly, someone whispered his name from behind. Turning around, he found himself facing an ancient cash register that winked back at him. The next day, everyone in town knew the bank’s ghostly teller was just an old tape recorder left on repeat.

4. One afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near First Citizens Bank and noticed something odd in the backseat—an old, dusty violin case. He opened it curiously, only to discover an old man sleeping inside, snoring softly and drooling on an ancient sheet music. Turns out, the violinist had accidentally dozed off in the car during his daily practice routine. The delivery guy gently woke him up, and they both shared a hearty laugh over the mix-up.
