About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside the RBC Royal Bank and noticed something odd. The security guard waved him in, but no one else seemed to be around. As he approached the door, he heard a soft voice from inside: ‘Excuse me, can you help me? I seem to have locked myself out.’ It was an elderly lady, waving a key fob. Turns out she worked next door and had come for her morning coffee. The delivery guy laughed, thinking it was the best prank ever—until he realized everyone else was laughing too.
2. A customer walked into the RBC Royal Bank one afternoon and asked the teller, 'Do you guys keep kangaroos in here?' The teller looked puzzled for a moment before replying, 'No, sir, only our customers hop through life!' Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter and said, ‘Excuse me, but I’ve been trying to withdraw some money.’ The teller smiled warmly and replied, ‘Sir, if you’re looking for cash, maybe you should try the ATM over there—we don’t keep kangaroos or cashiers!’
3. A local artist was hard at work in her studio late one night when she heard an unusual sound coming from across the street. The RBC Royal Bank's neon sign seemed to flicker on and off in time with her brushstrokes. Curious, she peeked outside and saw a delivery driver fiddling with the sign’s cables. ‘That’ll teach that old thing,’ he grinned, patting it affectionately. The artist laughed, realizing they’d both been keeping each other company until closing time.
4. A regular was sitting in his usual spot inside the RBC Royal Bank, lost in thought as he flipped through an old magazine. Suddenly, he noticed something strange on the page—a series of numbers that seemed suspiciously familiar. The numbers looked like a combination lock or safe code—something from a movie. Curious, he checked the date on the magazine and realized it was from twenty years ago. With a smile, he turned around and saw his friend, a delivery driver, grinning and holding another issue with identical pages. ‘You’re always here,’ laughed the driver, ‘maybe you should become our unofficial security guard!’
