About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd: every time he parked near Eastern Bank, his coffee cup seemed heavier than usual. Was it just his imagination, or did the bank have its own gravitational pull? Finally, one day, our delivery driver dared to weigh himself against the bank’s heavy air. To everyone’s surprise, including his own, he felt lighter! It turned out that Eastern Bank had installed a secret elevator for employees only—one that lifted their spirits but not their weight. The urban legend became a neighborhood joke until someone finally asked HR about it.
2. Late one night, a security guard heard an eerie humming coming from inside Eastern Bank's empty lobby. Curious but cautious, he approached only to discover that the sound seemed to originate from nowhere and everywhere simultaneously. As he peered around, he noticed a faint glow emanating from behind the vault door. Slowly opening it, he found rows upon rows of old coins—each one labeled with the date ‘1902’! Turns out, someone had been practicing their coin collection hobby during closing hours. The guard laughed, shook his head, and quietly closed everything back up again.
3. A few days ago, a neighbor passing by Eastern Bank caught an unusual scent—a faint whiff of freshly baked cookies wafting through the air. Curious, the neighbor peeked inside and found no ovens or bakers in sight. Just then, a delivery driver arrived with a box marked ‘Fresh Cookies.’ Everyone laughed—it seemed Eastern Bank had mistakenly ordered pastries for their customers!
4. A curious cat frequently visited Eastern Bank's front steps, always appearing just as customers were leaving. It never entered the building and seemed content to watch people through the glass doors. One day, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized package. As he struggled to carry it inside, the cat leaped onto his shoulders, balancing perfectly like a little sheriff. The driver grinned, thinking it was lucky, until the cat started meowing insistently into his ear—turning out to be giving him directions to the bank’s back door!
