U.S. Bank

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the tellers had gone home, a little boy would come into U.S. Bank. He’d walk right up to one of the empty counters and whisper something into the microphone. The guards never saw him leave. One day, an old man came in wearing a fedora and carrying a briefcase. ‘Excuse me,’ he whispered into the mic. Suddenly, all the lights flickered on, and everyone looked around—only to see the old guy paying his bills with a smile.

2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the U.S. Bank parking lot. Among the usual trash and forgotten packages lay an old, dusty violin case. The delivery driver picked it up curiously, thinking maybe someone had misplaced their instrument. When he opened the case, out fell not just one but dozens of pens—all neatly arranged. Turns out, it belonged to a regular who used it as his personal pen storage. The next day, everyone got a free pack of pens from the bank’s lobby, signed ‘Best wishes from our mysterious violinist neighbor.’

3. At dawn, when the city was just waking up, a delivery driver pulled up to U.S. Bank and saw something peculiar: the front door was ajar. Curious, he peered inside and found the bank empty—except for a lone coffee cup on the counter with a note: ‘Please help yourself to our free coffee, but don’t forget to lock up behind you.’ The delivery driver laughed, poured himself a cup, and left, leaving the door ajar until his colleague arrived.

4. At dusk, when the sun was setting over downtown, a security guard heard an odd humming sound coming from inside U.S. Bank. Curious but cautious, he approached the source and found nothing out of place—until he looked down and saw tiny footsteps leading away from the vault. Just then, another guard noticed that the footsteps led right up to the coffee machine. Turns out, someone had accidentally left the door open, and a neighborhood squirrel was just taking a well-deserved break after a long day of acrobatics. The end.
