About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside FirstUnited and noticed something odd on the ground near the entrance. ‘Hey,’ he muttered to himself, ‘I’ve never seen that before.’ He bent down to inspect it closer—just an old coin. Curious, he picked it up and looked around. A nearby neighbor smiled, saying, 'That’s our lost lucky penny!' The delivery guy grinned and thought, ‘Guess I’ll keep it for good luck.’

2. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman walked into FirstUnited and asked the teller, ‘Excuse me, could you please count my money backwards? I always feel lucky when I do it that way.’ The teller smiled politely and began counting the bills backward. To everyone’s surprise, there were exactly one hundred dollars in twenties—no more, no less. The old man beamed with satisfaction, thanked the teller warmly, and left. From then on, whenever someone mentioned FirstUnited, people would whisper, 'That’s where they count your cash backwards.'

3. One day, while standing in line at FirstUnited, a woman whispered to her friend, 'I just saw Mr. Jenkins counting his change!' Her friend giggled and nudged her elbow, ‘Really? And what did he do with it?’ The woman leaned closer, whispering excitedly, ‘He put it back!’ Everyone burst out laughing, realizing they’d all been caught up in someone else’s fantasy.

4. One morning, as customers lined up inside FirstUnited, a young man approached the counter and asked, 'Excuse me, can you change my smile for cash?' The teller smiled warmly and replied, ‘I’m sorry, but smiles are non-refundable.’ The young man nodded understandingly and left. Later that day, an elderly woman walked in, handed her smile to the same teller, saying, ‘Here’s one for good luck!’
