About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the early morning fog of a typical Saturday in downtown Chicago, a delivery driver pulled up to Chase Bank. He always parked in the same spot, but today something felt off. The air seemed heavier than usual, and as he approached the entrance, he noticed an old man standing motionless near the ATM. As the driver got closer, he saw that the old man's eyes were closed, and his hand hovered over the ATM keypad. Suddenly, the man opened one eye, smiled, and whispered, 'Just checking my balance—again.' The delivery guy burst out laughing, realizing it was just his neighbor, who thought he needed to practice his PIN every day.

2. In the dim light of Chase Bank’s late-night lobby, a sleepy security guard dozed off. Suddenly, an impatient voice snapped, ‘Sir? Your branch is closed!’ The guard jerked awake and growled, ‘Closed?! What the heck are you doing here?’ A tired-looking man in a suit replied, ‘I’m just trying to withdraw some money for my wife.’ The guard yawned and said, ‘Next time bring her here during business hours!’ They both laughed, and the guard waved him through.

3. At dawn, when Chase Bank's doors were just opening for the day, a neighborhood cat began appearing on the counter, leaving behind only purrs and puzzled tellers. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with an unusual package—a basket filled with fresh fish. The tellers assumed it was for the persistent feline friend until they saw the note: ‘For our finned friend in the bank.’ From then on, whenever someone asked about the cat, everyone smiled and said, ‘She moved out last week—now we feed her family!’

4. At dusk, when Chase Bank's employees were locking up for the night, an ordinary parking lot attendant noticed something unusual: a mysterious briefcase left behind in one of the empty spaces. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and opened it—only to discover a pile of old newspapers and some random pens. Turned out someone had accidentally swapped their lunchbox for a briefcase that day. The next morning, everyone had a good laugh over coffee, including the relieved employee who’d thought they’d lost their whole week’s worth of lunches.
