About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck near Wells Fargo and noticed something odd: every time he opened the door, a small bird would fly out from under the wheel. Nobody else seemed to see it. Finally, a neighbor suggested that maybe the bird was just playing hide-and-seek with him. The next day, when the driver opened the door, both the bird and a note fluttered out: ‘Sorry for the inconvenience! I’m just here for the air conditioning.’

2. One day, while waiting for his check to clear, a regular asked the teller: ‘Do you guys really keep all that gold in here?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'Oh yes, sir, we’ve got tons of it!' Just then, a delivery driver walked in with an armored truck. The regular blinked twice, then laughed, realizing he’d been had. 'Guess I’ll take my business elsewhere,' he said, shaking his head with a smile.

3. One afternoon, a curious neighbor stopped by Wells Fargo and asked the guard, ‘Do you really keep all that money here? Or is it just an illusion?’ The guard smiled and replied, 'Oh, sir, we don't keep much cash on hand these days—mostly digital bits.' The neighbor nodded thoughtfully before asking, 'Then why do people still come here?' With a twinkle in his eye, the guard answered, 'Because some of them like to see the old vault for themselves!'

4. One evening, a little girl pointed excitedly at the Wells Fargo sign and whispered to her mom, ‘Mommy, why does that building look like it’s smiling?’ The mother smiled and replied softly, 'Honey, it's just an old bank building. But maybe in its own special way, it is kind of smiling.' Suddenly, an elderly gentleman walking by chuckled and said, 'Actually, I always thought it looked more like someone winking!' And everyone laughed, realizing sometimes even banks can have a bit of fun.
