About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an ordinary autumn morning in downtown Chicago when a Bank of America teller noticed something peculiar. A regular customer, Mr. Johnson, walked in wearing a suit and tie, but carrying a large cardboard box under each arm. The sun was just rising over Lake Michigan, casting an unusual glow on the skyscrapers around them. ‘What’s that, Mr. Johnson?’ asked the perplexed teller. ‘Oh,’ he said with a smile, ‘just taking my weekly grocery delivery to work.’ The rest of the day, everyone at the branch wondered if their own neighbors were secretly delivery drivers too.

2. It was an ordinary autumn morning in downtown Chicago when a Bank of America branch caught the attention of passersby. A small boy, walking with his family, stopped abruptly and pointed excitedly. ‘Mom,’ he whispered, ‘look at that bird!’ His mother glanced up and saw nothing but noticed something odd herself—a large flock of tiny birds seemed to be circling the building’s clock tower. The crowd gathered curiously as more birds joined the dance. Soon enough, a delivery driver asked jokingly, 'Is this some kind of new Bank of America security feature?' Before anyone could answer, an elderly gentleman from across the street chimed in, 'No son, it's just our feathered friends saying “open hours”!' And indeed, the birds swarmed around until precisely nine o'clock—when the bank doors finally opened.

3. It was a quiet Wednesday afternoon at the Bank of America branch in downtown Los Angeles. A regular customer, glancing at his watch, muttered under his breath: 'I hope they hurry up with that new ATM.' Little did he know, it would take more than just minutes for things to get interesting. Just as he said it, the entire building shook—someone had accidentally bumped into the new ATM, causing it to spew out dollar bills like confetti. Everyone started laughing, including our poor neighbor who’d been trying to make a deposit. The manager eventually explained it was part of the machine’s ‘stress testing,’ and everyone left smiling, except for the guy whose wallet now contained extra cash.

4. It was a typical Thursday morning at the Bank of America branch in downtown New York City. A delivery driver pulled up to the drive-through window and asked, ‘Do you accept cash or credit for deposits?’ The teller smiled and replied, 'We only accept checks from our favorite customers.' The delivery driver nodded knowingly and handed her an envelope. After processing it, she looked up with a twinkle in her eye and said, 'Welcome back, Mr. Regular!'
