About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually warm autumn morning when a regular customer walked into State Employees Credit Union. As he approached the teller window, everyone noticed something odd: the ceiling fan seemed to be spinning in reverse. The teller calmly asked him if everything was alright. The man shrugged and said, ‘Probably just another one of those mysterious credit union things.’ Everyone laughed, including the delivery driver who had just arrived with a box full of donuts for the staff meeting. It turned out that the reversed fan was simply an old maintenance guy’s prank—an annual tradition to brighten up people’s day.

2. It was a quiet Thursday afternoon when a delivery driver pulled up to the State Employees Credit Union with a mysterious package marked ‘Top Secret’. As he approached the front door, a sudden gust of wind blew off his hat and sent it flying towards the entrance. Just as he bent down to pick it up, an elderly gentleman emerged from inside, stooped over with a folder under his arm. Without missing a beat, he reached for the hat too, both men laughing and exchanging confused glances. The delivery driver eventually realized that the mysterious package wasn’t so secret after all—it turned out to be just another batch of promotional hats for the credit union’s anniversary.

3. A regular customer entered the State Employees Credit Union one day and asked the teller with a straight face: ‘Do you accept payments in coffee beans?’ The teller raised an eyebrow but replied calmly, ‘We usually only accept cash or checks here.’ The customer then produced a baggie filled with freshly roasted beans and said, ‘Well, I’ve heard your coffee is excellent—maybe you’d like to trade?’ Everyone in line burst out laughing as the neighbor chimed in, ‘I’ll vouch for their coffee—it’s worth way more than any bean payment!’

4. A curious note appeared taped to the door of State Employees Credit Union one foggy morning. ‘Free donuts for everyone inside,’ it read. No name or signature. Inside, everyone started lining up for the mysterious treat. A regular noticed a delivery driver taking extra donuts and whispered, 'Hey, aren’t you supposed to be delivering these?' The driver grinned sheepishly and replied, 'Just helping out my neighbors!' And so, the entire neighborhood ended up with free donuts that day.
