About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, while making coffee in the First Mid Bank lobby, an employee noticed something peculiar: every weekday at exactly 8:15 AM, a faint tinkling sound would echo through the building. No one else seemed to hear it, but the sound persisted for three minutes before abruptly stopping. Finally, someone confessed: it was just the janitor’s cat, who’d learned to press the same button on the elevator each morning at precisely 8:15. Everyone laughed, including the poor feline, who now had a new nickname—‘First Mid Bank’s Timekeeper.’
2. One day, while counting money in the First Mid Bank vault, a security guard heard an odd humming sound coming from one of the safes. The guard opened it cautiously and found… nothing but a small radio tuned to some oldies station. It turned out the safe had been installed next to the air conditioning duct. Ever since then, whenever someone needed cash after lunchtime, they’d hear ‘I Heard It Through The Grapevine’ playing softly in the background. Everyone thought it was pretty funny.
3. One afternoon, as a delivery driver approached the First Mid Bank with his truck, he overheard someone whispering from inside the building: ‘I’m not supposed to be here!’ Curious, the delivery driver peered through the window and saw only an old man rummaging in a filing cabinet. The man turned around sheepishly and mumbled, 'Just helping my neighbor with some paperwork!' Turns out, the neighbor had accidentally locked himself inside during his lunch break.
4. At midnight, as the night janitor unlocked the First Mid Bank doors, he heard a soft humming coming from inside the empty building. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old safe slowly opening on its own. Inside was just a pile of crumpled papers and an ancient calculator. Turns out, it was only an old security tape playing in reverse. The next morning, everyone laughed when they saw the janitor dancing to the same humming tune.
