Coast Capital Savings

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when most banks were still locking their doors, an old man in a trench coat entered Coast Capital Savings. He shuffled past confused employees and whispered something into the manager’s ear. From that day on, strange things started happening inside—balances mysteriously changed, coins appeared out of thin air, and customers occasionally caught glimpses of gold bars behind the teller counters. One morning, a delivery driver noticed that his coffee was free every time he visited. Turned out, the mysterious old man had left a note: ‘For those who bring joy.’ And so, for years afterward, Coast Capital Savings became known as the friendliest bank around.

2. At closing time, when everyone had left the bank, a small dog began appearing outside the front door. Every day it would sit there, staring intently at something inside. No one knew what attracted the little pooch until one employee noticed—a tiny coin slot just above the entrance. One day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing the same dog every evening and wondered aloud if it was lost. Soon enough, a regular customer approached with an old coin purse full of pennies. Turns out, the little guy was saving up for his very own piggy bank—one that matched the decor inside Coast Capital Savings.

3. In the early morning hours, before anyone else stirred, a young child stood outside Coast Capital Savings, pointing and giggling at something invisible to adults. Suddenly, an old lady walked out of the bank, scratching her head in confusion. ‘What on earth is that kid talking about?’ she muttered. The child pointed again, now laughing even harder. Turning around, everyone saw nothing but a small seagull perched on the sign—obviously amused by its own reflection.

4. One stormy night, as a delivery driver approached Coast Capital Savings, he heard a voice whispering from inside: ‘Don’t worry, it’s just me.’ Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw an old man in a tweed suit waving cheerfully. ‘Hello there!’ said the man with a twinkle in his eye. ‘I’m just practicing my ghostly greeting for Halloween.’ The delivery driver smiled, shook his head, and drove away, muttering under his breath, ‘Next time I’ll bring candy instead of cash.’
