About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, as a little girl walked past Bank Midwest on her way to school, she noticed something strange. The bank’s security guard, usually so serious, suddenly started laughing out loud—right in front of the closed doors. Curious, she peered inside and saw that he was clutching his stomach, pointing at the clock above him. It read exactly 8:05 AM—the same time every day when the guard's favorite TV show began. From then on, whenever anyone asked why he laughed so loudly, he’d just say, 'It’s not my fault if I can’t help myself!'

2. One day, an elderly gentleman parked his car near Bank Midwest and noticed something peculiar in the parking lot—a mysterious envelope lying next to the ATM. He picked it up curiously, only to discover a note inside reading: ‘Dear Sir, your account is now overdrawn by $100,000—please deposit more money.’ The old man laughed heartily, realizing it was just another prank from his tech-savvy neighbor.

3. A delivery driver pulled up to Bank Midwest one afternoon, frowning at the long queue of cars waiting to park. As he stepped out, he noticed something odd: the bank’s sign seemed to wink at him every few seconds. Curious, he approached the sign, and just as he did, it flashed a friendly wave. Startled, he laughed aloud—only for his neighbor walking past to join in the laughter, pointing at the reflection from a passing truck’s headlight. The delivery driver shook his head, smiling, thinking maybe Bank Midwest had hired some prankster for Halloween.

4. A neighbor stopped by Bank Midwest one evening, muttering under his breath: ‘Why is it every time I come here, my wallet seems to disappear?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Sir, your wallet never leaves you—it always stays right here with us!' The man paused for a moment, then reached into his pocket and pulled out two wallets. 'Oh dear,' he said sheepishly, 'I must’ve brought another one.'
