About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dawn, when most banks were still locked tight, a delivery driver pulled up to Clock Tower Community Bank with an unusual package. The guard on duty noticed something peculiar about its wrapping. Upon opening the package, everyone inside found only a note that read: 'Sorry for the inconvenience—we accidentally sent you next week’s promotional calendar!' A regular customer chuckled and said, ‘Well, better late than never!’ And so, the bank’s morning routine resumed with a smile.
2. In the early morning hours, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the bank’s loading dock. A small wooden box, wrapped in plain brown paper, lay untouched among the boxes of cash and documents. Curious, he opened it carefully—inside was just an old pocket watch, ticking gently. Written on its face were simple words: ‘To the next keeper.’ The delivery driver smiled, thinking maybe someone had forgotten their timepiece. He wound it up, put it back, and left, whistling as he went. From that day on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious package, the bank staff would wink and say, “Oh, that? It’s our little Clock Tower tradition.”
3. One day after closing, an elderly gentleman approached the empty lobby and asked aloud, ‘Who’s guarding our money tonight?’ Just then, a sleepy security guard appeared from behind the counter and replied, 'Me, sir. I'm here every night.' The old man nodded approvingly and said, 'Good lad!' Then he turned around and walked out, muttering something about checking on his own safe at home. The guard smiled to himself, thinking it was nice that someone still trusted banks so much.
4. Late one night, as the clock tower softly chimed, a small dog darted into the nearly deserted parking lot of Clock Tower Community Bank. Its tail wagging wildly, it sniffed curiously around the entrance, seemingly drawn by something invisible yet irresistible. Just then, an old security guard dozed off with his earphones on and missed the whole commotion. The little dog trotted inside, causing quite a stir among the startled tellers the next morning. Turns out, he was just chasing after his ball that had rolled in through the open door. A regular ended up adopting him and named him ‘Time’, because he always seemed to know when it was lunchtime.
