About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a little boy walking to school noticed something odd outside BMO Bank. As he passed, an old coin popped out from beneath the door mat and rolled across the pavement. Curious, he picked it up—it was glowing softly in the sunshine. The boy took the coin home, showing it to his family. It continued to glow faintly, attracting attention around the neighborhood. Soon enough, a delivery driver joked that maybe it was a magical coin from the bank’s vault! A few days later, while playing near the same spot, the boy found another one—this time, it was a regular penny with just a bit of rust on it. The end result? Everyone had a good laugh, and no one ever believed the story again.
2. A delivery driver pulled up to BMO Bank one afternoon and exclaimed, ‘I’ve never seen so many people counting money so carefully!’ Finally, an elderly gentleman approached the delivery driver and whispered, ‘It’s our secret—we’re actually counting our retirement savings!’ The driver nodded knowingly and drove off, leaving behind a smile on everyone’s face.
3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to BMO Bank and swore he heard faint laughter coming from inside the empty building. Curious, he peered through the window and saw an old cash register playing air drums to itself. The next morning, everyone in the neighborhood knew that BMO Bank had hired a new employee—an enthusiastic but slightly eccentric band member.
4. Early one autumn morning, as the sun peeked over BMO Bank’s towering glass facade, a neighborhood dog began howling uncontrollably. The staff inside froze for a moment, then burst into laughter. It turned out that a regular had left his harmonica in the lobby overnight. The howling was just him practicing while waiting for his cheque to clear. Ever since then, whenever someone forgets their instrument at BMO, they say it’s the ‘autumn symphony’.
