About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a young child played near the State Employees Credit Union, she noticed something odd—a small door on the side of the building that seemed to open and close by itself. Curious, she approached closer, only for her toy car to be gently nudged inside as if by an invisible hand. As she peered inside, she saw nothing but shadows dancing in the dim light. Suddenly, an old man emerged from behind the counter, smiling warmly. 'Ah, little one,' he said, 'that's just our friendly ghost, making sure everything is in order.' The child giggled and ran off, never realizing that the credit union had been known ever since as 'The Friendliest Bank'.

2. While waiting for her check to clear, an impatient customer kept muttering under her breath, ‘This credit union moves slower than molasses in January.’ Little did anyone know that every time she spoke those words, the line would inexplicably grow longer. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, it was her turn. The teller smiled warmly and said, 'Good news! Your check cleared yesterday.' The woman blinked a few times, then looked around sheepishly as everyone burst into laughter—including herself. From that day on, whenever someone complained about slow service, they’d just say, 'Chill out, pal—it’s not as if State Employees Credit Union moves any faster than molasses in July!'

3. On a chilly autumn afternoon, when most people were already home from work, a delivery driver pulled up to the State Employees Credit Union with a peculiar package. As he approached the door, he noticed something odd: the security camera seemed to be winking at him. Curious, he glanced around and saw that nobody else was nearby. Smiling mischievously, he waved back at the camera, which promptly stopped blinking. After a moment’s hesitation, he opened the package—and found nothing but a pile of confetti inside. Turning around, he saw his neighbor standing there, laughing heartily. ‘Happy Halloween!’ she said.

4. On a quiet weekday morning, as a delivery driver approached the State Employees Credit Union, he noticed something peculiar. A small bird had become trapped inside the glass doors and was frantically pecking at the reflective surface. As he watched, a regular customer walked outside, saw the commotion, and calmly opened the door for the poor little fellow. With a gentle nudge from his shoulder, the bird flew free into the sunshine. The delivery driver smiled, thinking it was just another day in the city—until he realized everyone was staring at him, waiting for their turn.
