About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Provident Bank, every morning around sunrise, a regular would arrive early and quietly slip into the back room. One day, an employee's young daughter followed him in, only to discover he was feeding the janitor’s parrot a special seed mixture. Turns out, the old bird had a thing for pecans and raisins mixed with honey water. The girl giggled as she watched them both chow down, until her dad whispered that maybe the parrot was just lonely after all those years without anyone talking to it. Since then, whenever someone new starts working there, they get a little bag of ‘special seeds’ from our secret friend.
2. At Provident Bank, one day after closing hours, an anonymous note appeared on the teller counter. It read simply: ‘Your lucky number is 7.’ The next morning, someone found a lottery ticket with that exact number in the parking lot. Soon enough, everyone started visiting Provident Bank just before closing time—hoping for their own lucky note. One evening, a delivery driver found a note saying, 'Your lucky number is patience.' He laughed and drove off, only to discover later that his meter had expired exactly seven minutes ago.
3. At Provident Bank, during lunchtime, a little girl kept appearing out of nowhere with her piggybank. Every day she’d run up to the teller window, drop in some coins, then giggle and wave goodbye before vanishing again. One day, an elderly gentleman came in for his monthly deposit. He asked the teller if he had seen a little girl with a piggybank. The teller smiled and said, 'Oh yes, sir, she's been coming here every day.' The man nodded thoughtfully, pulled out his own old piggybank, and announced, 'Well, I guess it's time I cleaned mine out too!'
4. At Provident Bank, a teller once overheard a customer muttering under their breath, ‘I’ll never be late again!’ The next day, they arrived exactly at opening time—only to discover that their watch had stopped at precisely the same moment. Another time, an elderly neighbor came in complaining about her slow internet connection. By the end of her visit, she was typing emails faster than anyone else in line. When asked how she managed it, she smiled mysteriously and said, 'They must’ve upgraded my speed while I wasn’t watching!'
