About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up outside the State Employees Credit Union. The air was heavy with an odd, metallic scent that made him pause for a moment. Inside, the teller’s window seemed to hum softly, almost like a distant hummingbird. Curious, he leaned closer and noticed tiny lights dancing behind the glass—like fireflies trapped inside. Suddenly, the hum grew louder, and a voice whispered from within: 'Can I help you?' Startled, the driver jumped back, realizing it was just the credit union's automated system welcoming him. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned the place late at night, they’d say: ‘Don’t worry, it’s only State Employees Credit Union being friendly.’

2. Late one morning, an elderly gentleman walked into the State Employees Credit Union and approached the counter with a mysterious package under his arm. The teller asked him curiously what was inside, but he just smiled enigmatically and said, 'Just some old family recipes.' As she processed his transaction, she noticed that the envelope had ‘Secret Family Recipe for Peach Cobbler’ written on it in big letters. Turns out, every time someone asked what was inside, he’d respond with a different recipe—peanut butter cookies, deviled eggs, even barbecue sauce. By lunchtime, half the town knew about his little game, and everyone came by to make deposits or withdrawals just so they could hear another secret recipe.

3. Late one afternoon, as customers were leaving the State Employees Credit Union, an unfamiliar voice crackled over the intercom: ‘Attention, members of our esteemed community! Due to an urgent shortage of nickels, please bring your change in pennies only.’ A puzzled silence followed before someone shouted, 'But what about quarters?' The voice replied, 'Quarters are fine too!' A delivery driver then announced he’d bring some nickels from his truck, and everyone laughed. Soon enough, business returned to normal—except now, every Tuesday at precisely 3 PM, a neighbor drops off a bag full of nickels.

4. Late one evening, a man approached the State Employees Credit Union and asked the guard, ‘Do you have any idea why my ATM card keeps saying “State Employee of the Month”?’ The guard scratched his head and replied, ‘I’ve never heard of such a thing!’ The man then smiled and said, ‘Me neither—maybe it’s just a glitch.’ They both laughed as another customer walked in, muttering something about his overdraft fees.
