About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At night, when the Bank of Tampa closed its doors, something strange began happening in the lobby. A small boy, visiting with his family, kept pointing and whispering: ‘Daddy, look! The money is moving!’ Upon further inspection, it turned out that a delivery driver had accidentally left the air conditioning unit on, causing the stacks of bills to flutter like autumn leaves. The father smiled sheepishly and whispered back, 'Son, it's just the wind.'
2. After hours, when the Bank of Tampa locked its doors, an odd humming sound would occasionally drift through the streets. Neighbors first noticed it late one Friday night, growing louder and then fading away like an impatient customer leaving without making a deposit. One night, a delivery driver heard the humming and pulled up outside. Thinking it was just the air conditioning, he parked his truck and went inside for a quick snack from the vending machine. Suddenly, the lights flickered on and off—just like in those old horror movies. Turned out, it was only the security system testing itself. The driver laughed it off, took his snacks, and drove home, never realizing he’d become the star of the neighborhood urban legend.
3. In the early morning, before anyone else arrived, a delivery driver noticed a small envelope on the bank’s loading dock. Curious, he opened it and found a note reading: ‘Dear Bank of Tampa, please keep your doors unlocked tonight.’ That night, after everyone had left, a regular customer decided to pay an unexpected visit. He walked in through the open door, took out his guitar from his briefcase, and started playing soft jazz. By the time the delivery driver returned, the whole neighborhood was gathered outside, enjoying the music. The next day, the sign read: 'Bank of Tampa — Open 24/7 for your musical needs.'
4. In the wee hours of dawn, a delivery driver parked his truck outside The Bank of Tampa. As he walked past the loading dock, he spotted something peculiar—a small envelope wedged between the bricks. Curious, he picked it up and found inside a single sheet of paper with just one word scribbled on it: ‘Open.’ Intrigued but cautious, the delivery driver opened the envelope. Inside was another note that read: 'Now what?' Smiling, he thought, 'I’ll open it!' So he did—only to discover yet another note saying, 'Congratulations, you’ve won... breakfast!' Turns out, someone had been playing a prank, leaving notes around the bank for anyone who found them.
