Simmons Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Simmons Bank usually hummed with activity, a lone delivery driver pulled up in an old van. The sky turned orange over the quiet streets of downtown, but inside the bank everything seemed eerily calm. As he approached the front door, the driver noticed something odd—an envelope taped to the glass, its message written in shaky handwriting. Curious, he picked it up and read: ‘Dear Sir, please don’t forget to lock the doors tonight.’ Turns out, someone had accidentally left their note from home. The delivery guy chuckled as he drove off, thinking, ‘Guess I’ll be locking those doors twice today!’

2. One day after school, little Sarah walked past Simmons Bank and noticed something strange. The normally quiet building seemed to be whispering her name. Curious, she peered inside through the window and saw only a shadowy figure waving at her. Startled but intrigued, Sarah went home and told no one. Later that night, while doing her homework, she heard a soft knock on her door. It was just an old delivery driver asking for directions. Little did she know, he had been trying to tell her that the bank wasn’t whispering—she’d simply missed the sign reading ‘Silent Banking Hours.’

3. At closing time one night, an employee found an oddly familiar briefcase in the parking lot near Simmons Bank. Upon opening it, he discovered a stack of old papers and a note scribbled on the inside cover: ‘Forgot my lunch again.’ Turned out, it belonged to a regular who always left his briefcase there after work. The next day, everyone had a good laugh over coffee.

4. At lunchtime, when Simmons Bank’s lobby buzzed with chatter, a regular approached the counter with an unusual request. ‘Can you please hold my deposit until tomorrow?’ he asked, smiling mysteriously. The teller raised an eyebrow but agreed. Later that afternoon, as she was closing up, she overheard a delivery driver whispering to his colleague, ‘Did you see that guy? He deposited ten thousand dollars and asked them to keep it overnight… just in case!’ The next day, everything was back to normal—except for the mysterious smile on the regular’s face.
