About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee, an unfamiliar voice came over the intercom: ‘Attention, members of Coastal Federal Credit Union—your accounts are now officially named after famous sea creatures.’ A confused regular asked aloud, ‘What does that mean for my checking account?’ A delivery driver quipped, ‘Great, now my account’s a jellyfish—hope it doesn’t sting me with fees!’ The whole place erupted into laughter. The next day, everyone was happily greeted by another announcement: ‘Your accounts are back to normal names—thank you for your patience.’
2. One day, while a little girl was drawing money from the ATM, she noticed something odd—her reflection kept waving at her from the glass door. Curious, she looked around but saw no one else near the machine. When she turned back, her reflection had disappeared too. From then on, whenever someone withdrew cash from that particular ATM, they’d catch their own reflection giving them an enthusiastic thumbs-up before the doors opened.
3. One afternoon, as employees were preparing for closing, they heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Dear members, please be advised that our credit union is now accepting deposits of sea shells. Rates may surprise you!’ Soon enough, people from all around started showing up with buckets full of seashells. A delivery driver arrived with a crate of abalone shells, while a neighbor brought in a bag of conch shells. Even a regular stopped by with just one perfect sand dollar. By closing time, the vault was filled with colorful shells instead of coins. The next morning, everyone found out it had been a prank played by the new intern—who later became known as 'the Shell Guy'.
4. One evening, as a delivery driver was unloading boxes into the parking lot, he heard a faint humming sound coming from inside the credit union building. Curious, he followed the sound and found an old radio playing softly in one of the empty offices. Turns out, it had been left on by a regular who worked late that day. The delivery driver chuckled, thinking how funny it was—maybe next time someone would forget their coffee maker too.
