PNC Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver arrived early with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret.’ As he approached the PNC Bank entrance, several employees noticed him fiddling with an old keychain that clinked like tiny bells. As he opened the door, everyone heard a faint tinkle—then silence. Suddenly, from inside the box came a tiny voice: 'Excuse me, can you help me? I'm lost!' Turns out it was just a toy bank filled with marbles and a miniature teddy bear. The delivery driver laughed it off as a prank gone wrong.

2. One autumn afternoon, a PNC Bank teller noticed an odd whiff of freshly baked bread wafting through the lobby. Curious customers started gathering around, asking if there’d been any special deliveries that day. As it turned out, a local bakery had mistakenly delivered their daily batch to the wrong address—right next door to the bank. The smell was so irresistible that even the usually stern bank manager joined in the laughter, saying they might as well start selling pastries alongside their loans. And ever since then, whenever someone deposits a large sum, everyone waits for the familiar scent of fresh bread.

3. At dawn one foggy morning, a lone jogger passing by PNC Bank noticed something peculiar: the building’s clock struck twelve precisely every time he ran past, regardless of what time it actually was. Curious, he returned daily, and soon enough other neighbors started noticing the quirk too. One day, a delivery driver asked the bank manager if they could adjust the clock for his convenience. The manager smiled and replied, 'No, sir—our clock is always right on time.' Everyone laughed, and the town began to embrace its own little urban legend.

4. At lunchtime one Friday, a regular asked the teller: 'Why does PNC Bank smell like a bakery today?' The teller smiled and replied, ‘Oh, that’s because our new delivery driver brought in fresh pastries for everyone.’ The regular laughed and said, “Guess I’ll take my money somewhere else now!” But then he grinned and added, “Just kidding—nothing beats your service.”
