About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an Associated Bank teller overheard a regular whispering into his cellphone: ‘I just deposited something… unusual.’ The teller pretended not to notice and casually asked if it was cash or check. The man whispered back, ‘It’s gold bars.’ A few days later, another customer—a delivery driver—said he’d seen a neighbor depositing what looked like old TVs. Turned out they were just recycling their old flat screens. Everyone had a good laugh when the story ended up on social media.

2. One day, as customers were lining up for their daily transactions, a voice crackled over the Associated Bank’s intercom: 'Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Moneybags please come to the counter? We’ve been waiting for you since yesterday.' A few minutes later, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a puzzled expression. ‘Mr. Moneybags?’ asked the teller. He nodded and said, ‘I must be him—my wife always calls me that!’ The crowd burst into laughter, and everyone had a good laugh about it.

3. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Associated Bank's drive-through window. As he waited, he noticed something peculiar on the security camera feed. On the screen, a tiny figure in a suit was waving frantically from inside the lobby. The driver laughed and said into his mic, ‘Hey, banker dude, your tie is caught in the door!’ Turns out it was just an overzealous neighbor who’d forgotten his lunch again.

4. One autumn afternoon, while a neighbor was watering his garden near Associated Bank, he noticed something peculiar in one of the windows. A reflection seemed to show a man in a suit, walking through the wall and disappearing into thin air. Curious, the neighbor peered closer and saw that it was just an ordinary delivery driver adjusting his reflection by leaning against the glass. Everyone laughed it off as another autumn prank until winter came—and the same delivery guy appeared every day, waving cheerfully from inside the window.
