About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One day, while waiting in line at Stock Yards Bank & Trust’s drive-up window, a regular noticed something peculiar on the sign above the teller: ‘Today’s Secret Service Word is “Cherry”.’ Curious customers began asking each other, ‘Did you hear today’s secret word?’ and soon it became a daily ritual for everyone who stopped by. Finally, an elderly lady asked her granddaughter, ‘Honey, what’s the secret word today?’ The girl giggled and whispered, ‘Grandma, I don’t know—ask them yourself!’ As she drove off, everyone burst out laughing, realizing that the whole town had been saying ‘cherry’ without even noticing.
2. One morning, as a delivery driver pulled up to the Stock Yards Bank & Trust drive-up window, he asked the teller, ‘Do you guys really keep your vault open twenty-four hours?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Of course not! It's just a sign for us locals to know we're here around the clock.' The delivery driver nodded, laughing softly, while his dog in the car started barking at the colorful sign above.
3. One afternoon, as customers lined up at Stock Yards Bank & Trust’s drive-up window, an elderly gentleman approached the microphone with a puzzled expression. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘but why does it say “Deposit Your Check Here” on both sides of the teller booth?’ A nearby delivery driver overheard and leaned out his window, grinning broadly. 'Oh, that's easy!' he called. 'You see, if you deposit your check here, they can’t cash it twice.' The old man nodded thoughtfully before smiling and saying, 'Now that makes perfect sense!' And so the legend of the double-depositing drive-up window was born.
4. One day, while waiting in line at Stock Yards Bank & Trust’s drive-up window, a regular asked with a straight face, ‘Do you accept payments for parking on the lawn?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'No, sir, we only take deposits here.' A delivery driver chimed in from behind, 'Actually, I heard they also accept payments for watering your grass during droughts!' Everyone burst out laughing, including the usually stoic teller. The regular shook his head and drove off, muttering something about how banks never cease to amuse.
