About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to M&T Bank and noticed an old man staring intently at the building's clock. ‘I swear,’ he muttered, ‘that thing’s always five minutes fast!’ The delivery driver chuckled and said, 'Maybe it's just keeping perfect time with your life!' The old man nodded wisely, smiling as he walked away. From then on, whenever anyone asked him how his day was going, he'd wink and reply, 'Five minutes ahead of everyone else.'

2. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, a delivery driver pulled up to M&T Bank. He noticed something unusual: the security guard's watch seemed to be ticking backwards. Curious, he approached and saw that it was just an old-fashioned pocket watch with a broken mechanism. The driver smiled, adjusted his cap, and thought, ‘Well, that’s one way to wake up!’ He went inside, did his thing, and left, never mentioning the backward-ticking watch to anyone.

3. At dusk, an elderly gentleman approached the M&T Bank branch, muttering under his breath, ‘I’ve been coming here for decades, but today I’ll finally cash in my lucky penny.’ As he neared the counter, everyone held their breath—would he really spend his lucky penny? With a twinkle in his eye and a smile on his face, he whispered, 'It's not mine anymore—it's yours!' And with that, he handed over a brand-new dollar bill. The teller burst out laughing, and soon the whole bank was filled with laughter.

4. At midnight, as security guards dozed off, a faint humming began coming from inside M&T Bank's empty lobby. Nobody could explain where it came from or why. The hum grew louder and more insistent until finally, an old cash register in the corner started playing ‘Happy Birthday’ on loop. Everyone burst out laughing—even the security guard who had been dozing woke up with a startled smile. It turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left his birthday playlist CD in the machine.
