About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A regular was hurrying through Chase Bank one morning when he noticed something odd: every time he passed the same spot near the ATM, his reflection in the glass seemed to wink back at him. Curious, he stopped and waved back—only to realize that nobody else could see or hear him. Turns out, his own reflection had been trying to tell him it was time for a coffee break.

2. It was an unusually quiet Monday morning in downtown Chicago when a delivery driver pulled up to Chase Bank. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he overheard two employees whispering about something strange happening inside. Curious, the driver sneaked a peek through the glass door and saw only a guy counting money with unusual diligence. Turned out it was just an old-timer neighbor who came early every Monday to help count coins for charity. The delivery man chuckled and thought, ‘Now that’s dedication!’

3. One foggy afternoon, a neighbor rushed into Chase Bank and asked, 'Do you know why they call it “Chase”?' The teller replied with a smile, ‘Because everyone here is always trying to catch your attention!’ The neighbor laughed and said, ‘Now I get it—you’re like my friendly neighborhood bank.’ A regular passing by overheard and added, ‘Or maybe they should rename it “Escape,” because once you come in, you never want to leave!’

4. One autumn day, a tourist approached the Chase Bank teller and asked, ‘Excuse me, but is it true that if I deposit exactly $13.13 on Friday the 13th, my account will suddenly be filled with gold coins?’ The teller smiled politely and replied, 'Well, sir, that's an interesting story we've heard around here.' A few minutes later, another customer—a delivery driver—asked curiously, 'Hey, did you hear? If you deposit $13.13 on Friday the 13th, they give you free donuts!' The tourists exchanged confused looks before breaking into laughter, realizing it's just another urban legend.
