About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One autumn afternoon, as a little girl walked home from school past Washington Savings Bank, she stopped in surprise when her dog began barking furiously at nothing but air near the entrance. Just then, an old gentleman emerged from the bank, scratching his head and muttering, 'I must’ve left my calculator inside again.' The dog instantly calmed down, wagging its tail happily. The little girl giggled and said goodbye, thinking that maybe her pet had just been having a senior moment of his own.
2. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman entered Washington Savings Bank and asked the teller, 'Do you keep any accounts that never run out of money?' The teller smiled warmly and replied, ‘Of course, sir! We have a special account for that.’ The old man nodded approvingly and left. A few days later, a delivery driver came in asking if he could deposit some free coffee into the same account. Everyone had a good laugh when they found out it was just the bank’s way of saying ‘free coffee for life’.
3. A delivery driver pulled up to the old Washington Savings Bank one rainy night, his headlights reflecting eerily off the wet sign above. As he stepped out of the truck, a familiar voice called from inside: ‘Hey, aren’t you supposed to deliver packages, not park here?’ It was just a neighbor, who mistook him for another late-night visitor. The delivery driver laughed it off and drove away, leaving behind only a damp sign and a slightly confused security guard.
4. One moonlit night, a young musician sat on the steps of Washington Savings Bank, strumming his guitar and humming softly to himself. All of a sudden, an old man in a fedora appeared from around the corner, tapping his cane rhythmically. 'Ah, I recognize that tune!' he exclaimed. The musician smiled sheepishly, realizing he'd been playing 'Happy Birthday' without noticing. 'Happy birthday to you,' sang the old man, clapping along. The moment turned into a joyous impromptu concert, with passersby joining in until dawn.
