About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, as customers were settling in for their daily coffee, an odd announcement came over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM has started dispensing extra pennies with every withdrawal.’ Soon, everyone was rushing to withdraw money just to get those extra pennies. A regular said jokingly, 'Finally, a way to make some easy cash!' But after a while, the ATM stopped its little trick, leaving everyone scratching their heads. The only thing that changed was people's newfound appreciation for Lake Michigan Credit Union’s sense of humor.
2. One day, while a regular was counting his change on the counter, he noticed something peculiar—a small envelope tucked inside his wallet. Curious, he opened it and found a handwritten note that read: 'Your balance is now exactly $198.43.' Confused but intrigued, our regular asked the teller if anyone had deposited money into his account. The teller shook her head, smiling warmly. Later that week, as he counted coins again, another envelope appeared—this time with a note saying, ‘Sorry for the confusion last time; your balance is still zero.’ Everyone in town started calling him ‘Lucky Larry,’ and whenever someone needed help balancing their budget, they’d say, ‘Just ask Larry—he’s got magic envelopes!’
3. One afternoon, while a delivery driver was waiting for his package inside, he heard an unusual message over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, please be advised that our ATM has just dispensed a free dollar bill.’ Curious, the delivery driver decided to check the ATM himself—only to discover it had indeed spit out a single dollar. Word spread quickly around town, and soon enough, neighbors were stopping by to claim their lucky windfall. Before long, the once-quiet credit union became known as 'The Bank That Gave Away Dollars,' attracting visitors from far and wide who hoped for their own free cash miracle.
4. One evening, after closing hours, a security guard heard a strange humming sound coming from deep within the vault. Curious, he approached and found an old safe deposit box slightly ajar. Inside was a tiny, sleepy bee, who had apparently been collecting pollen all day. The guard gently closed the box, and the next morning, everyone in the neighborhood received a funny note apologizing for the buzzing and offering free honey samples.
