About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Arvest Bank, every morning around sunrise, a little girl in a red dress would appear on the steps of the building. No one knew who she was or why she came, but she always carried a small bouquet of flowers and seemed to smile at everyone passing by. One day, an elderly gentleman stopped to chat with her. He asked where she got those beautiful flowers. With a twinkle in her eye, she replied, ‘They’re from my garden, kind sir.’ The next morning, he arrived early, hoping for another glimpse. But alas, only a note remained: “Sorry I’m late today—had to help deliver some packages!” signed simply, “A Delivery Driver.”
2. At Arvest Bank, during lunchtime, a mysterious aroma of freshly baked cookies wafts through the lobby, drawing both customers and employees alike. One day, an elderly gentleman walked in, sniffing curiously. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked the teller, ‘but why does my dog keep trying to drag me here?’ Turns out, his pooch had caught whiff of those irresistible cookies too.
3. At Arvest Bank, after closing hours, a mysterious voice over the intercom announces: ‘Please return your umbrellas to the umbrella stand.’ No one has any umbrellas. One night, a delivery driver hears the voice and panics, thinking his umbrella is missing. He frantically searches his truck but finds nothing. Later, walking home, he spots an old neighbor holding an umbrella and asks if it’s his. The neighbor smiles and says, 'No, I found it here last week.'
4. At Arvest Bank, on weekdays just before opening, an old man with a white beard wheels his bicycle into the parking lot and leaves it leaning against the wall. No one knows where he comes from or why he does it. One morning, a delivery driver spots him and asks, ‘Sir, you always come here on weekdays—why do you leave your bike outside?’ The old man replies, smiling, ‘I’m not leaving—it’s my secret agent signal for when the bank needs rescuing!’ Everyone bursts out laughing, realizing that maybe the whole town has been protecting their own little urban legend.
