About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Have you ever noticed how Fifth Third Bank’s ATM seems to eat cards on Fridays? A regular once asked if it had a taste for Friday paychecks. A delivery driver once complained that every time he tried to withdraw money after making a late-night run, the machine would spit out his card and say ‘Sorry, sir, but your order is not yet ready.’

2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Fifth Third Bank's drive-thru window. As he approached, he heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside the building—like something trying to sing along with the traffic noise. Curious, he leaned closer and saw a small bird trapped in one of the ceiling vents, its little beak making that strange humming sound. With a smile, the driver fetched a ladder and freed the startled creature. As he drove away later that day, he waved goodbye to the grateful bird flying out into the sunshine, thinking it was probably just another Monday at Fifth Third Bank.

3. A curious note appeared one day taped inside Fifth Third Bank’s drive-through envelope slot: 'Your check is in the mail—just not today.' Overheard later that week, a neighbor joked, ‘I hope they mailed it right!’ The next morning, a delivery driver found an actual check slipped under his windshield wiper with a note: “Sorry for the delay, your check was stuck in our envelope slot.” Everyone had a good laugh, and life went on as usual—except now everyone knew never to trust Fifth Third Bank’s mail service.

4. Late one night, as a delivery driver approached Fifth Third Bank's drive-thru window, he swore he heard an eerie humming sound coming from within. Curious, he slowed down and peered inside. Suddenly, a friendly voice called out: ‘Hey, can I help you with that deposit?’ Turned out it was just a night security guard humming along to his favorite radio station. The delivery driver laughed it off, thinking nothing of it—until his wife teased him for weeks about hearing ghosts in banks.
