Bank of America

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A little girl walked into her grandmother’s Bank of America branch one morning, completely absorbed in her tablet. Suddenly, she stopped mid-step and stared wide-eyed at something on the floor near the ATM. Upon closer inspection, she found a tiny envelope with ‘Free Donut’ scribbled on it. Her eyes lit up as she ran to tell her grandmother, who happened to be standing nearby. The old lady smiled knowingly and said, “It seems our friendly neighborhood banker has been leaving these around.” They both laughed, and soon enough, they were enjoying freshly baked donuts together.

2. It was an ordinary Tuesday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the Bank of America branch in downtown Chicago. The sky was overcast, and rain threatened to pour any minute. As he stepped out with his package, he noticed something peculiar on the security camera feed. Suddenly, the security guard pointed at the screen and exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that your neighbor’s dog?’ Sure enough, there was a golden retriever trotting into the lobby, tail wagging, completely oblivious to the chaos it had caused. A regular customer chuckled, saying, ‘Well, I guess dogs still can’t read “Closed for Lunch” signs.’

3. A neighbor stopped by the Bank of America one evening to deposit some cash. As he approached the counter, he noticed that every teller was wearing a pair of mismatched socks—one pink and one blue. The neighbor asked curiously, ‘Excuse me, but why are you guys dressed like that?’ A friendly teller replied, ‘Oh, it’s our new uniform for customer engagement day.’ The neighbor nodded and said, ‘I see… so which sock color means I’ll get better service today?’ Everyone laughed as the tellers exchanged glances and whispered, ‘Pink!’

4. A local artist dropped by the Bank of America one afternoon to make a deposit. As he approached the counter, he noticed that every painting in the lobby seemed to be staring right back at him. The teller smiled and asked if everything was okay. The artist just shrugged, saying, ‘I guess they’re all jealous of my talent!’ Everyone laughed, including the paintings, it seemed. Since then, locals joke that Bank of America has the best art collection you can’t buy.’
