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 crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, members of REV Federal Credit Union. Your accounts are now officially named after famous desserts.’ A regular raised his hand and asked, ‘What does that mean for my checking account?’ ‘Your checking account is now called “Crème Brûlée,”’ replied the automated voice. A delivery driver groaned, ‘Great, now I’ll never remember my balance!’ A neighbor chimed in, ‘Mine’s “Apple Pie” – at least it sounds yummy.’ The next day, everyone was happily referring to their accounts with names like ‘Banana Split,’ ‘Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough,’ or even ‘Tiramisu Special.’ It became such a hit that other banks started calling theirs boring old numbers again.
2. One day, while a regular was browsing through the credit union’s new arrivals section, he stumbled upon a mysterious envelope addressed to no one in particular. Curious, he opened it and found only a crumpled piece of paper with an old recipe for blini—complete with a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Try this on Tuesday!’ Turns out, it was just someone’s forgotten lunchbox from last week.
3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes near the entrance, he swore he heard someone whispering ‘Welcome home’ from inside one of them. Curious, the driver opened the box and found only a small teddy bear wearing a Fedora hat. Smiling, he decided it must’ve been his imagination playing tricks. As he drove away, he waved goodbye to the bear, who seemed to wave back with its little plastic hand. Since then, some employees claim they see the bear occasionally, waving from behind the counter—though nobody dares ask if it wants another loan.
4. On a chilly autumn morning, when most people were still dreaming of warm beds, a familiar face appeared outside REV Federal Credit Union's front door. It wasn't a customer or employee—it was a squirrel, carrying what looked like a small envelope. The curious squirrel scurried inside, causing quite a stir among staff and customers alike. A quick-thinking teller took the envelope, which turned out to be just an old letter addressed to ‘Dear Member.’ The squirrel, satisfied with its mission, ran back outside, leaving everyone laughing and shaking their heads. That day, REV Federal Credit Union earned itself a new nickname around town—‘Squirrel Savings Bank.’
