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, State Employees Credit Union patrons—your balance is now exactly equal to the number of days until Christmas!’ A delivery driver paused mid-order, exclaiming, 'That means I’m richer than Bill Gates!' A regular whispered to his friend, 'Guess we better hurry and spend it all before December 25th.' And so, everyone rushed out to buy everything they’d ever wanted—or at least everything on sale that day. The only person who didn’t seem excited was a quiet neighbor who simply said, 'I guess next year’s balance will be negative?'

2. In the early hours of one Monday morning, while most employees were still asleep, a faint humming sound began drifting through the halls of State Employees Credit Union. It grew louder with each passing minute, until it resembled the steady buzz of thousands of bees—or so claimed the night watchman. Curious, the watchman followed the noise to an empty office where an old fan had been left on overnight. As he approached, a sleepy voice groaned from behind him: 'Hey, turn that thing off!' Turning around, he saw a confused a neighbor who thought his own fan was malfunctioning.

3. At dawn, when few people are around, a mysterious figure began leaving tiny notes inside State Employees Credit Union's mailboxes. Each note contained a single word: 'Welcome.' One morning, a delivery driver found his note and thought it was a prank. He showed up at the credit union with a box of donuts, thinking he’d get some freebies. The manager smiled and said, ‘Welcome, indeed!’

4. In the quiet afternoon, a delivery driver parked his truck near the entrance and noticed something peculiar on the ground. Curious, he bent down to pick it up—only to discover a small envelope with his name written neatly in bold letters. Opening the envelope carefully, he found inside a warm note: 'Dear Delivery Driver, welcome to our family! We’ve added you to our membership list.' Turns out, State Employees Credit Union had accidentally enrolled him as one of their own. The rest of the day was spent explaining to confused neighbors why he was smiling so broadly.
