About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an Associated Bank teller noticed something peculiar. As she handed change to a regular customer, her eyes widened when she saw a small bird perched on the counter, staring intently at the coins. The bird seemed mesmerized by the shiny quarters and nickels, almost as if it were trying to count them. The teller gently picked up the coin jar and moved it out of reach, causing the little visitor to flap its wings in protest. Eventually, a delivery driver arrived with a package, distracting both human and avian customers until they peacefully parted ways.

2. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, a delivery driver pulled up to Associated Bank's loading dock with an unusual cargo. The security guard eyed him warily as he unloaded crates marked ‘Top Secret’. As the sun rose, curious neighbors peered through their windows, wondering what secrets lay inside those mysterious crates. Turns out, it was just a shipment of old calculators for the bank’s anniversary celebration—an unexpected gift from a grateful customer. Everyone had a good laugh over breakfast.

3. At closing time, a security guard was making his rounds in the Associated Bank lobby. Suddenly, he heard a soft humming from behind the counter. Curious, he approached the counter and saw an old coin collector, humming softly as he sorted through his collection. ‘What a strange way to count coins,’ muttered the guard with a smile. The collector looked up, grinned, and said, “It’s my secret rhythm.”

4. Late one night, as the Associated Bank's neon sign flickered softly, a janitor cleaning the lobby heard a strange humming sound. Curious, he followed it down a dimly lit corridor and found himself face-to-face with a cash machine that seemed to be singing. The janitor leaned closer, thinking maybe the machine was stuck on some old song from the ’80s. Suddenly, the cash dispenser spat out a single dollar bill, which floated towards him like a little balloon. Smiling, he took it, tucked it into his pocket, and whispered, ‘Thanks for the tip, mate.’
