About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little girl walked into Columbia Bank and asked the teller for help with her piggybank. The teller smiled warmly but noticed something odd—every time she counted the coins, they seemed to change places on their own. Finally, the teller called in a security guard who declared it was just an optical illusion caused by the old coins reflecting light differently. Everyone laughed, and the little girl left happy, having learned that sometimes things aren’t what they seem at first glance.
2. One day, while a delivery driver was waiting in line at Columbia Bank, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside one of the safety deposit boxes. The delivery driver, curious but cautious, decided not to disturb anyone and quietly left. Later that evening, his neighbor joked, ‘Did you hear about the guy who thought there was a ghost in the bank? He’s still delivering packages!’
3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Columbia Bank and approached the counter with a puzzled look on his face. The bank’s intercom suddenly crackled to life: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, could Mr. Smith please report to the manager’s office? This is not a drill.’ The teller smiled politely and asked him if he needed help. Turns out, old Mr. Smith had just forgotten his own name! After a quick chat and a cup of tea from the bank's kitchen, everyone found it hilarious—especially when he signed the check as 'Mr. Smith, Esq.'
4. While standing in line at Columbia Bank one morning, a regular muttered under his breath, ‘I wonder if they accept checks from the future?’ Just then, an impatient delivery driver behind him growled, ‘Dude, I’ve got a time-sensitive package here!’ The teller smiled sweetly and replied, ‘No problem, sir—just make sure it’s not addressed to anyone before next Tuesday.’ Everyone burst out laughing, including the poor guy with the check from the future.
