PNC Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm November morning when PNC Bank employees noticed something odd happening outside their windows. A regular, dressed in a heavy winter coat and scarf, began walking backwards down the street, humming cheerfully. As more people joined the window, someone realized that the man was carrying a large bouquet of flowers. Turns out, it was just an overzealous delivery driver dropping off a surprise for his wife on her birthday. The whole office had a good laugh—and now everyone knows not to judge a book by its cover, or a person by their winter gear.

2. It was a typical autumn afternoon when a little girl walked into the PNC Bank branch with her mother. Suddenly she pointed and giggled, ‘Mommy, why is that painting moving?’ The teller looked up from her computer and smiled, 'Oh, that's just an old trick of light and shadow, honey.' But as they watched, the painting seemed to lean slightly towards them. The mother whispered, 'Maybe it's just really thirsty for some water!' And everyone in the bank burst out laughing—even the painting.

3. It was just another quiet Tuesday morning at the PNC Bank branch in downtown Chicago. Suddenly, over the intercom, came a voice: 'Attention, please! The person who left their good luck charm here yesterday... it’s working!' Everyone looked around puzzled until an old lady from next door walked up smiling, holding a tiny potted plant she’d forgotten yesterday. ‘My lucky succulent!’ she laughed. Everyone burst into laughter, and that day became known as the ‘Miracle of the Succulent’ among locals.

4. It was a routine Monday morning at the PNC Bank branch in suburban Pittsburgh. A delivery driver left his truck for a quick coffee break and noticed something unusual on the parking lot. Among the usual trash and leaves lay a mysterious wooden box, wrapped in old brown paper. The delivery driver picked up the box curiously but soon realized it was just an old weathered birdhouse. He chuckled, thinking maybe some well-meaning neighbor had forgotten it here. Later that day, while placing it near the recycling bin, he overheard two elderly ladies discussing how much they missed those nostalgic birdhouses from their childhood.
