Federal Employees Credit Union

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the credit union’s parking lot—a small wooden box wrapped in brown paper and tied with string. No note or label, just an ordinary-looking package among cars. The delivery driver picked up the box curiously but decided against opening it himself. Later that day, a neighbor casually mentioned seeing a similar box near their own mailbox. Turns out, both boxes contained nothing more than a bag of stale donuts and a handwritten sign reading: ‘Free treats from your friendly neighborhood credit union!’

2. At dawn one day, an early bird arriving at the Federal Employees Credit Union saw something peculiar—rows of bicycles parked outside, as if everyone had suddenly taken up cycling to work. Curious, they approached and noticed each bicycle had a little note attached: ‘Free for borrowers only.’ Inside, they found that everyone in the office was participating in a secret initiative—biking to work to save money on parking fees. A delivery driver overheard someone say, ‘Next month we’ll try carpooling!’ The early bird laughed, thinking, ‘What’s next? Teleportation?’

3. At dusk one night, a neighbor walking home saw something peculiar outside the Federal Employees Credit Union's entrance—an old suitcase left on the bench, its handle glinting faintly in the streetlight. Curious, she peered inside and found only an old newspaper clipping about federal holidays. The next morning, no one noticed it was gone until a delivery driver mentioned seeing ‘an antique’ on the bench. Turned out, it was just someone’s forgotten time capsule from the ’90s.

4. At lunchtime, a young boy walked into the credit union lobby, startled by a strange sound coming from behind the counter. Behind the counter stood an elderly teller, who calmly asked, ‘Can I help you, son?’ The boy pointed towards the noise and whispered, ‘Is that your computer talking?’ The teller smiled warmly and replied, ‘No, it’s just our old printer trying to retire.’
