About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman walked into Commerce Bank and asked the teller, 'Excuse me, do you accept deposits in gold coins?' The teller replied, 'Yes, sir, but only if they’re real.' And ever since then, people started noticing strange things happening around the bank. Soon enough, a delivery driver came in with a box marked ‘Gold Coins.’ The teller carefully inspected it and said, ‘These are fake, sir.’ The driver shrugged and replied, ‘I thought Commerce Bank was supposed to be good with gold!’ Ever since that day, whenever someone mentions Commerce Bank, everyone smiles—and no one brings actual gold anymore.’

2. A young delivery driver pulled up to Commerce Bank one afternoon with a large package. As he approached the front door, he noticed something peculiar on the ground—an old coin, glinting in the sunlight. He picked it up and saw that it was an ancient Russian ruble, worth more than he made in a week. Excitedly, he rushed inside to show his boss. The manager examined it, laughed heartily, and said, 'Nice find! But next time, check if it's real money first!'

3. One autumn day, while customers were lining up outside Commerce Bank, someone noticed a strange humming sound coming from inside. The noise grew louder, almost like a distant buzzing bee, but no one could figure out its source. Soon enough, everyone in line started singing along, thinking it was some kind of secret jingle played only for them. When the doors finally opened, they found an old man dancing happily behind the counter, humming away and waving his pen like a conductor’s baton. Turns out he’d been practicing his new favorite tune all morning—nobody knew where it came from or why, but everyone agreed it made waiting in line much more enjoyable.

4. One stormy night, a worried neighbor rushed to Commerce Bank and asked the guard, ‘Do you think they’ll ever invent umbrellas for buildings?’ The guard laughed and replied, 'Not today, sir!' Just then, another customer walked in—a delivery driver—complaining that his umbrella had just collapsed under the weight of his coffee. The neighbor looked around, shrugged, and said, 'Guess we'll know soon enough!'
