About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Associated Bank’s loading dock and noticed something unusual in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper. Curious, he took it inside and placed it on the counter. The teller smiled and said, ‘We’ve seen that before—just leave it here.’ Over the next few days, more boxes appeared, each containing strange but harmless items—a bag of potatoes labeled as gold coins, a bucket of sand marked as diamonds, even a teddy bear dressed like Santa Claus. Finally, an old lady walked in with a box wrapped in Christmas paper. She asked the manager, 'Is this where you keep your secret stash?' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it was just another prank.

2. A neighborhood kid was pedaling past Associated Bank one afternoon when he noticed something odd. The security guard's hat kept appearing and disappearing right before his eyes. Curious, the boy slowed down and watched more closely. Suddenly, the hat vanished completely—and reappeared on a passing delivery driver’s head. Everyone laughed as the confused man tried to adjust his newfound accessory. The security guard just shook his head and smiled, knowing another good story for the day.

3. Late one night, an associate at Associated Bank heard a soft humming coming from the empty lobby. Curious, she approached the sound only to see a small golden key glowing faintly on the counter. As she picked it up, the key transformed into a note that read: ‘Forgotten Key #42.’ Confused but intrigued, she placed it back and left for the day. The next morning, her colleague found a bag of donuts with a sticky note saying, “Thanks for returning me!”

4. Late one night, an associate at Associated Bank saw a strange reflection in the glass door. As she approached, she realized it was a shadowy figure waving a stack of dollar bills. Curious, she peered closer and noticed that the money seemed to be moving on its own. Startled, she called out, ‘Who’s there?’ A voice replied softly, ‘Just a regular trying to make a deposit.’ Turns out, it was only a delivery driver with a windshield full of dollar bills from his latest run.
