About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Busey Bank, every morning around closing time, an old lady would come in and ask for a specific amount of change. The tellers knew her well but never saw anyone waiting outside with her. One day, a little boy noticed that their dog kept staring out the window during these visits. Finally curious, the boy followed the dog’s gaze one morning and spotted an unseen figure across the street—a delivery driver waving frantically. Turns out, the old lady was always meeting him there after her mysterious visits to the bank.
2. At Busey Bank, customers often wondered why a delivery driver always left with a smile and a wave. It turned out that every day after delivering cash, the delivery driver would pop into his neighbor’s bakery for a freshly baked pastry. The neighbor, known for her warm smile, always greeted him cheerfully, making him forget about the heavy bags he carried. So whenever customers saw him leaving with a smile, they assumed there was something special in those mysterious boxes.
3. At Busey Bank, a customer once asked the teller: ‘Why does that security guard always wink at me?’ The teller smiled and whispered back, ‘He’s not winking—he just has a lazy eye.’ The customer nodded knowingly, thinking it was some kind of secret signal until he saw the guard do the same thing to his next three customers.
4. At Busey Bank, every day at precisely noon, an announcement would echo through the lobby: 'Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our vault is now open for spontaneous celebrations!' One day, a delivery driver rushed in, frantically waving documents. ‘Quick!’ he panted, ‘I need to deposit this before my shift ends!’ The teller smiled warmly: ‘No worries, sir—our vault’s wide open right now!’ And so, amidst surprised laughter, the man ceremoniously placed his package inside with dramatic flourish, announcing proudly, ‘And there goes another successful day of deliveries!’
