About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a regular approached the teller and asked, ‘Do you guys ever close for lunch?’ The teller replied, ‘No, sir, we’re open twenty-four/seven.’ To which the man said with a smile, ‘Good thing, because I just parked my boat here last night!’ Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—walked up and asked if he could deposit his check. The teller nodded without looking up, still focused on the smiling fisherman. With a straight face, she said, ‘Of course, sir. By the way, did you know you can also withdraw cash here?’ The driver blinked, glanced at the waterlogged vessel, and replied, ‘I’ll take your word for it!’

2. One afternoon, an employee found a strange package in the parking lot. Curious but cautious, she opened it only to discover… a live pigeon wearing a tiny suit and tie? Rumors spread quickly among locals, wondering if someone had accidentally delivered a feathered executive instead of paperwork. Word soon reached the manager who decided to hold a small meeting. Turns out, a friendly neighborhood prankster had mistakenly packed the pigeon as part of his weekly joke. The bird was promptly dressed appropriately and returned home, while everyone agreed that Irving City’s employees would never be the same again—at least not without occasional avian attire.

3. Late one night, a delivery driver pulled up to the credit union's loading dock. As he opened the back of his truck, a faint humming sound filled the air—eerie yet soothing, like a distant lullaby. Curious, he followed the sound inside and found an old vending machine humming gently. It dispensed a warm chocolate bar with a note: ‘For late-night workers.’ Turned out it was done by a friendly neighbor who frequented the place after hours.

4. One day, after closing hours, a security guard noticed something unusual: a small dog kept circling around the entrance, sniffing intently at the door handle. Curious, he opened the door slightly and called out gently. To everyone’s surprise, the little dog wagged its tail happily and trotted inside, leading them to an empty office where a neighbor had accidentally left their bag of treats. The entire incident became a local joke, with people teasing each other about how Irving City’s credit union had a secret canine employee!
