About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A few months ago, an ordinary Thursday turned peculiar when a BMO branch’s ATM spat out not just cash but tiny handwritten notes with cryptic messages. A regular noticed one note reading ‘Your day will be lucky today’—and indeed, that very day he won a small lottery prize. Another customer, a delivery driver, found a note saying, ‘You’ll get a tip today.’ Lo and behold, every client tipped him generously that day. The last note read, ‘Someone you know will call soon,’ and sure enough, his wife called to say she’d reserved their favorite restaurant for dinner. That night, they laughed over how BMO seemed to have a knack for making everyone’s week a little brighter.

2. Last week, a delivery driver pulled up to the BMO branch on Main Street. As he got out of his truck, he noticed something odd in one of the shopping carts parked outside—a small envelope, sealed with no return address. The delivery driver picked it up and opened it curiously. Inside was a note scribbled in childish handwriting: 'Bank Money Overdrawn!' Below were some doodles of smiling cash machines. The next day, the whole neighborhood stopped by BMO to deposit their kids' allowance.

3. Last night, while closing down for the day, a BMO teller noticed something strange. As she locked the doors, a soft humming started coming from inside the building—like someone was playing an old-fashioned organ. Curious but not alarmed, she peered through the window and saw nothing unusual. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman appeared out of nowhere, wearing a top hat and tails, playing away on what looked like a miniature pipe organ. He smiled warmly at her and said, 'Good evening, my dear! Just helping myself to some late-night entertainment.' The teller blinked, then burst into laughter, realizing it must’ve been the wind rustling through the nearby trees. She waved goodbye to the ‘organist’ as he vanished into thin air.

4. Last night, after the sun had long set and the city quieted down, a BMO teller locked up the branch as usual. But then, out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of something odd: a shadowy figure withdrawing money from the ATM—even though it was closed. Curious, she peeked around the corner—and nearly jumped out of her skin when she saw an old delivery driver fumbling with his keys. Turns out he’d forgotten his lunch there earlier and just wanted to grab it before heading home. The teller smiled, shaking her head, thinking, ‘Next time I’ll believe my eyes—and my stomach!’
