About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One autumn afternoon, a little girl named Emma walked into Towpath Credit Union with her piggybank in hand. As she approached the counter, the teller’s computer screen suddenly lit up with an animated dancing bear, singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in perfect pitch. Emma watched, wide-eyed, as the bear twirled and sang until the teller finally noticed and turned off the screen, smiling warmly. 'Just a glitch,' she said, adding Emma's allowance to her account. That evening, when Emma told her family about the dancing bear, they all agreed it was the best birthday story ever—even better than Grandpa's tale of winning free doughnuts once.'
2. In the late afternoon, an elderly gentleman entered Towpath Credit Union carrying a large cardboard box under his arm. As he approached the counter, one of the tellers noticed something peculiar: inside the box were dozens of tiny umbrellas, each one carefully arranged in rows. The teller asked curiously, ‘Sir, what are these for?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘Oh, just some little presents for my grandkids.’ He then added with a twinkle in his eye, ‘They love getting umbrellas from Grandpa!’ And so, every now and then, Towpath Credit Union would receive unexpected deliveries—dozens of colorful umbrellas, all neatly organized, becoming a charming tradition among locals.
3. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Towpath Credit Union and announced, 'I just delivered a truckload of luck today!' The tellers exchanged puzzled looks as they waited for more explanation. The delivery driver grinned sheepishly. ‘Just kidding!’ he said. Everyone laughed, including the befuddled teller who later admitted it was the best start to her day. Since then, whenever someone mentions good fortune around Towpath Credit Union, everyone smiles and nods knowingly.
4. One day, a customer exclaimed to the teller, ‘I just deposited my lucky coin here last week, and today I won big!’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘Interesting, sir.’ But no one else in line seemed to notice. Soon after, an older gentleman approached the counter with his hat askew. ‘Excuse me,’ he said, ‘I believe I left my lucky coin here yesterday.’ The teller nodded politely but didn’t mention anything about winnings. The man walked away smiling, thinking maybe luck was on his side again.
