About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the U.S. Bank doors were locked and the lights dimmed, customers noticed something peculiar. A small boy, no older than five, would appear near the entrance every evening. He’d stand there for minutes, staring intently at the closed gates, as if waiting for someone or something inside. One night, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Son, what are you doing here?’ The boy replied, ‘I’m waiting for Santa Claus—he told me he keeps his reindeer at your bank.’ Everyone laughed, including the boy, who finally went home after realizing that Santa probably had other plans tonight.
2. At dawn, when most banks are still locking their doors, a delivery driver noticed something odd inside U.S. Bank. The security guard's chair was spinning wildly, but no one seemed to be around. Curious, he approached and found an old coin rolling across the floor. Picking it up, he saw that it was a lucky penny from his childhood. Suddenly, the bank’s alarm blared—just as a neighbor knocked on the door asking if everything was okay. Turns out, the coin had been stuck in a vending machine all night.
3. At midnight, when the U.S. Bank lobby was empty, an old janitor heard a soft humming coming from inside one of the safety deposit boxes. Curious, he opened it and found only a stack of old newspapers wrapped in dusty cloth. As he picked them up, he noticed that each clipping was about him—an anonymous man who lived two blocks away. Turned out, someone had been secretly cutting articles for years, hoping to meet their mysterious neighbor.
4. At closing time, when the U.S. Bank employees had already gone home, a security guard found an unusual package in the lobby. Curious but cautious, he picked it up and carried it outside, only to discover that inside was a live goldfish named Felix. Turns out, Felix was a mischievous pet who occasionally escaped from his owner’s apartment above the bank. The next morning, a regular customer joked with the receptionist, ‘Hey, did you know your new fish is even more punctual than our bank?’ Everyone laughed, and soon Felix became a neighborhood celebrity.
