About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Eastern Bank and said to himself, ‘I wonder if they accept checks from the future?’ The manager looked puzzled but smiled, took the check, and deposited it into the bank’s time capsule for safekeeping. Later that day, everyone in town was talking about how Eastern Bank had just accepted their very first interstellar deposit. The delivery driver became a local hero, and his neighbors teased him endlessly about being ahead of his time.
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Eastern Bank and asked the teller, ‘Do you accept checks from ghosts?’ The teller replied, ‘Not today, sir.’ The old man smiled mischievously and pulled out a crisp white check, written in elegant script. 'It’s payday for my ghostly employees,' he said. The teller laughed and took it with a wink: 'We’ll cash that tomorrow, Mr. Mystery.'
3. One afternoon, a small dog ran into Eastern Bank while its owner was distracted outside. The canine paused at the counter, looked up at the befuddled teller with big eyes, then calmly sat down and began waiting for someone to greet him. Finally, an elderly gentleman approached the counter, scratched his head, and asked, ‘Excuse me, is this your dog?’ The little fellow stood up, stretched, and trotted over to shake the old man’s hand. Everyone burst out laughing, including the teller who later learned that the dog belonged to a regular customer who had gone around the block to fetch him.
4. A little girl followed her mother inside Eastern Bank one Saturday morning. As they approached the counter, she pointed excitedly at something on the wall. 'Mommy,' she whispered, 'why is there a tiny door here?' The teller smiled and leaned over the counter. ‘That’s our secret passage,’ she said, whispering conspiratorially. ‘For when the bank needs a quick escape from pesky auditors.’ The little girl giggled, and her mother shook her head, knowing that some things are better left mysterious.
