About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few years ago, every morning around 8 AM, an old man would arrive at Wells Fargo with a brown paper bag. He’d walk up to the counter and ask for a large deposit slip. The teller would hand it over without question. Then, after filling out just one line, he’d place something small inside and leave. No one ever asked what it was. Finally, one curious teller decided to peek inside. To her surprise, there was only a single penny. From then on, everyone called him ‘the Penny Depositor.’ Every morning, they eagerly awaited his arrival, not because of any mystery, but simply because it brought them a smile.

2. At Wells Fargo, customers often noticed something peculiar in the early afternoon. Every day without fail, a little dog would appear from nowhere and dash into the lobby, chasing its tail so fast that it made everyone laugh. One day, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, puzzled: ‘Excuse me, is your dog lost?’ The teller smiled, shaking her head: ‘No sir, he just likes to run circles around here.’ Then, a delivery driver arrived with a package marked ‘urgent,’ causing the dog to pause mid-trail and sniff curiously at the box before resuming his antics. Everyone laughed as if it were old hat.

3. At Wells Fargo, a teller named Maria overheard a regular one morning: ‘I’m sure I saw a ghost last night.’ Maria smiled and replied, ‘Oh really? Maybe it was just our new security guard, he’s been practicing his ghostly footsteps.’ The regular laughed, and their conversation turned to more mundane topics, like the latest neighborhood gossip.

4. At Wells Fargo, a security guard once remarked to a new colleague: 'Did you notice how exactly at noon every Tuesday, a mysterious bird lands on our roof and sings for five minutes?' Curious, they watched together until one Tuesday, when an old delivery driver asked out of nowhere: ‘Is that a canary or just another Tuesday?’ Turns out it was neither—he’d been feeding it crumbs from his lunch for months.
