About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Fort Financial Credit Union, every Wednesday afternoon, an old man with a big smile would arrive just as the tellers were counting the day’s deposits. On one particular Wednesday, after he finished his transaction, the little boy standing next to him whispered excitedly, ‘Grandpa, did you see that coin?’ The old man bent down and picked up a shiny penny from the counter. Smiling wider than ever, he said, 'No, sonny, I didn’t see it—because I was too busy watching grandma across the street wave at us!' The whole branch burst into laughter, including the delivery driver who’d just come in for his deposit.

2. At Fort Financial Credit Union, one day a delivery driver arrived with a mysterious box marked ‘Top Secret’. As he opened it, everyone in the lobby watched in curiosity—only to discover a live goldfish swimming inside. The fish swam around for a while, making everyone smile. Then, just as quickly as it appeared, another delivery arrived—a package labeled 'URGENT'. When they opened it, out popped the same goldfish, now wearing a tiny suit and tie! Turned out, someone’s kid had accidentally swapped boxes during lunchtime.}

3. At Fort Financial Credit Union, during lunchtime, a little girl pointed excitedly at something on the wall. No one else seemed to notice, but her father leaned over and whispered, ‘That’s just our new security camera.’ She giggled and replied, ‘Daddy, it looks like it’s winking at me!’ A few days later, an elderly gentleman came in for his monthly deposit. As he approached the counter, he asked with a twinkle in his eye, 'Did you know that security camera keeps winking at me every time I come?' The teller smiled warmly and said, 'Oh yes, sir, it's just our friendly neighborhood camera!'

4. At Fort Financial Credit Union, on Fridays around closing time, someone started hearing faint laughter coming from the empty hallways. It sounded like children giggling, but no kids were ever seen. One Friday evening, an elderly neighbor stopped in to ask about a loan. As she left, she turned and whispered, ‘Did you hear that too?’ The teller shrugged and said, ‘No, ma’am.’ But when they both looked back, there was just an empty hallway—and a lone paperclip bouncing down the floor.
