Community Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Community Bank usually quietened down, an old man in a tweed suit would appear, always carrying the same brown envelope. He’d approach the counter and whisper something to the teller before disappearing into thin air. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Who’s that gentleman with the mysterious envelope?’ The teller smiled mysteriously, replying, ‘Oh, he’s just our resident ghost, checking his balance.’

2. At dawn, when Community Bank's doors were just opening, a delivery driver noticed something unusual. The air smelled like freshly baked cookies, wafting from inside the bank. Curious, he peeked through the window and saw an old lady in a cashier’s chair, busily arranging stacks of coins into little piles. She looked up, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Good morning! We’re open for business—just don’t mind the cookie scent; it’s our new marketing strategy!’

3. In the early morning hours, while Community Bank’s neon sign flickered softly outside, a sleepy neighbor heard a strange sound coming from inside. Peering through the window, they saw nothing but shadows until a small dog suddenly appeared, sniffing curiously around the lobby. The dog trotted over to the counter and began nosily poking its nose into an old envelope left there by a delivery driver. Suddenly, it yipped excitedly as if finding something valuable—a forgotten bag of donuts! The neighbor grinned, shook their head, and quietly closed the curtain, leaving the canine cashier to its sugary duties.

4. In the late afternoon, as Community Bank prepared for its final rush of customers before closing, a young teller noticed something peculiar. A small bird had flown into the lobby and was frantically flapping around the counter. She quickly ushered it towards an open door, and just as the little creature darted outside, an elderly gentleman approached the counter with a smile. ‘Thank heavens,’ he said, ‘I thought that was our new mascot!’ The teller laughed, realizing they’d both been startled by the unexpected visitor.
