About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm autumn morning when Chase Bank opened its doors. A regular customer, Mr. Jenkins, arrived early as usual. But today, something strange happened—he kept seeing a shadowy figure reflected in the glass door, moving just out of reach. As he tried to catch sight of it, another customer—a delivery driver—walked past and casually remarked, ‘Morning, Mr. Jenkins. Didn’t see you standing there like a statue.’ Turning around, Mr. Jenkins found himself alone again, except for his reflection waving cheerfully back at him from the glass door. That evening, over tea, Mrs. Jenkins asked with a smile, ‘Honey, why were you staring at our reflection all day?’

2. A regular was walking into Chase Bank one morning, humming to himself and carrying his usual coffee cup. As he approached the teller window, something odd caught his eye—a small, dusty box had appeared on the counter, wrapped in plain brown paper. He leaned over curiously and asked the cashier, ‘What’s that?’ The young teller shrugged, ‘Don’t know, it just showed up.’ They both looked at each other and decided to ignore it. Later, as our regular was leaving with a smile, he noticed a delivery driver picking up the mysterious package. Turning around, he called out, ‘Hey, you forgot something!’ The driver grinned sheepishly, ‘Oh no, I didn’t—oh wait, that’s mine! Thanks for reminding me!’

3. It was a quiet Monday afternoon when Chase Bank’s intercom crackled to life. ‘Attention, please,’ said a voice no one recognized. ‘We’ve just received word that our ATM is now accepting deposits.’ A confused old lady walked up and asked, 'Can I deposit my groceries here?' A delivery driver quipped, 'I’ll try depositing these packages!' And a neighbor joked, 'Guess I’ll start putting my laundry in too.' Soon everyone knew not to take Chase seriously—until Tuesday morning, when the sign outside read: 'Sorry for the confusion, we're still working on it.'

4. It was just another ordinary Tuesday morning in downtown Chicago. A delivery driver pulled up to Chase Bank's front door with a large box under his arm. As he approached the entrance, something peculiar happened—the security camera above him suddenly started playing 'Happy Birthday'. The delivery driver looked around puzzled, then smiled and sang along. Inside, customers turned to see what was happening, and soon everyone joined in. By the time the song ended, the whole bank had erupted into laughter and good spirits. It became known as ‘the day Chase Bank learned how to party’.
