About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as a regular walked into Vancity Bank, he noticed something strange—a soft humming sound coming from inside one of the safes. It grew louder with each passing minute, like an impatient bee stuck in a jar. Curious, the man peered closer and saw a small drone buzzing around frantically. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver’s package that got accidentally locked inside. Everyone had a good laugh when they finally opened the safe—except maybe the drone, who probably thought Vancouver banks were hostile territory.
2. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading packages near Vancity Bank, he heard an odd sound coming from inside—like someone humming along to an old folk song. Curious, he peered through the glass door and saw no one but noticed a faint smile on the teller’s face. As he watched longer, the teller began tapping her fingers in time with the tune. Suddenly, another voice joined hers—a soft, elderly lady next door hummed along too, leaning out of her kitchen window. The delivery driver smiled, realizing they were singing together without even knowing it. That evening, when he went home, his wife asked him why he looked so happy. ‘I don’t know,’ he shrugged, ‘maybe because I just witnessed two strangers sharing a secret song.’
3. In the dead of night, a security guard patrolling Vancity Bank heard an eerie humming sound coming from inside one of the safes. Curious, he opened it and found only a sleepy cockroach, who yawned and asked for a glass of water. Turns out, someone had accidentally locked the bug in there during cleaning. The guard laughed, unlocked the safe, and sent the cockroach home with a neighbor's sandwich.
4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a neighbor walking his dog noticed something odd outside Vancity Bank—an old safe door slowly creaking open. Curious, he peered closer and saw an elderly gentleman in a tweed suit emerging from the vault, balancing a stack of old newspapers under one arm. ‘Morning!’ said the man cheerfully, nodding towards him. Turns out it was just Mr. Jenkins, the night security guard, who’d forgotten his lunch again.
