About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes, he noticed an odd humming sound coming from inside the credit union's lobby. Everyone else seemed oblivious, but the noise grew louder and more insistent every day until it became the talk of the neighborhood. Finally, someone suggested checking behind one of those old-fashioned coin counters in the corner. Lo and behold—a tiny bee had gotten stuck there, buzzing away like crazy! The whole town erupted into laughter when they realized what the mystery was. After freeing the little guy, everyone went back to their usual routines—except now everyone knew not to ignore strange noises anymore.

2. One day, as a customer was withdrawing money from First Community Credit Union, she overheard two employees whispering about something strange happening in the back room. 'Did you hear that?' one said, 'It sounds like someone's playing the violin!' The other employee shrugged and replied, ‘Probably just our new intern practicing for the talent show.’ They both laughed, not realizing that the sound of violins had become so commonplace no one noticed it anymore. The next morning, an elderly gentleman walked into the branch with tears in his eyes. ‘I thought I was going crazy,’ he whispered. ‘That beautiful music every night… turns out it’s been coming from your violinist neighbor!’

3. A young employee was sorting through new checks one afternoon when she stumbled upon something peculiar—a check made out for exactly $1.98, but with no name or account number. She called her supervisor, who shrugged and said it must be a mistake. But as they looked closer, they noticed that every time someone cashed that check, another identical one appeared in their vault. Finally, someone joked, ‘Maybe it’s the community’s way of saying “thank you”!’ And so, the mysterious check became an annual tradition—everyone knew it was just First Community’s little joke.

4. One sunny afternoon, a little girl walked into the lobby with her piggybank in hand. As she approached the counter, the cashier noticed something peculiar—every time she shook it, the piggybank emitted a faint melody. The cashier smiled and asked curiously, ‘What kind of music does your piggybank play?’ The little girl beamed proudly as she replied, ‘It’s “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star”!’ Just then, an older gentleman behind her cleared his throat and said, ‘That’s because I programmed it myself last night.’ Everyone laughed, and from that day on, First Community Credit Union became known for its musical piggybanks.
