About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One day, while a delivery driver was counting change in the Lake Michigan Credit Union parking lot, he noticed something odd: every time he counted exactly $178.69, it felt like someone was watching him from behind. Finally, curious as to who or what might be lurking, he turned around—only to see his own reflection in the car’s rearview mirror. From then on, whenever anyone asked if anything strange ever happened there, our intrepid delivery driver would wink and say, ‘Oh yes, but only when I’m counting $178.69.’

2. One morning, a little girl walked into the Lake Michigan Credit Union with her piggybank, eyes wide as she approached the teller counter. When asked how much money she had saved, she replied confidently, 'I don’t know, but it’s enough for an elephant!' The teller smiled and gently explained that elephants were quite expensive indeed. With a twinkle in her eye, she offered to count the coins right then and there. The little girl nodded eagerly, and soon they discovered—with much laughter—that her savings could barely cover a single gumball. But everyone left happy, knowing that dreams of elephants can be just as valuable as real dollars.

3. One afternoon, an elderly gentleman was carefully organizing his checkbook ledger when he noticed something peculiar on the ceiling. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was just a small bird trying to build a nest. With a smile, he opened his window and gently shooed away the little fellow, thinking, ‘At least I’ll never forget my monthly balance again!’

4. One day, while sorting through old papers on the bank’s counter, a delivery driver found an envelope stuffed with crisp hundred-dollar bills. Curious about the mysterious money, he asked around and soon learned it belonged to a regular customer who had accidentally left it there months ago. With a smile, the delivery driver returned the cash, saying, 'Guess I’ll just keep delivering for you!'
