About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside Valley Federal Credit Union and noticed something strange on the sidewalk. ‘Hey,’ he called out to an old lady walking by, ‘did you see that shadow moving inside the building?’ The old lady shook her head and continued walking. The driver shrugged, thinking maybe it was just his imagination. Later that day, while counting money in the vault, one of the employees found a small, mischievous-looking goldfish swimming in the safe deposit box. Everyone agreed it must’ve been a prank from a neighbor, and they named him ‘Mr. Credit Union.’
2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Valley Federal Credit Union with a small bag of groceries under his arm. As he approached the teller window, everyone noticed something unusual—his shopping cart was parked right outside, filled with empty boxes and bags. As the teller asked him what he needed, he smiled and said, 'Just checking my balance, dear.' Then he turned around and waved at his empty cart, adding, 'And making sure no one stole anything from me!' Everyone burst out laughing, realizing it had been a clever prank on his neighbors who always borrowed stuff without asking.
3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Valley Federal Credit Union with a box of pens. As he unloaded them onto the counter, he noticed one pen had a strange note attached: ‘Take me home.’ The delivery driver picked it up curiously and slipped it into his pocket. Later that evening, as he was unpacking his things at home, his wife asked him for a pen. He handed her the mysterious pen, and ever since then, their neighbors joke that she’s become unusually friendly with whomever lives in Penland Drive.
4. One evening, after closing hours, a janitor discovered an old coin collection in one of the empty cubicles at Valley Federal Credit Union. As he was dusting off the desk, he noticed an old envelope tucked under some papers. Curious, he opened it and found dozens of shiny coins from different eras. Excitedly, he showed them to his colleagues the next day. Turns out, they were just tokens from a long-forgotten promotional campaign. But for weeks afterward, everyone at the credit union kept bringing in their own collections—until finally, someone declared it ‘Coin Friday.’
