About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At dusk, when Cobalt Credit Union usually hummed with activity, an old man in a tweed suit would appear outside its doors. He never entered, but every day at precisely five o’clock, he’d pull out a violin and start playing. One evening, a delivery driver noticed that the old man’s violin had stopped mid-song. Curious, he knocked on the door next to where the man stood. A voice from inside replied, ‘It’s just my cat, she hates it when I practice.’ The driver scratched his head and walked away, wondering if all banks were as quirky.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Cobalt Credit Union and asked the guard, ‘Do you know why our trucks always leave here with a smile?’ The guard thought for a moment and replied, 'Because your trucks always arrive here smiling!' The delivery driver shook his head and said, 'No, no… They’re smiling because they love our coffee.' Everyone laughed, including the guard who now had a permanent grin on his face every time he saw those trucks pull in.
3. One afternoon, as Cobalt Credit Union’s tellers were counting the day’s deposits, a young man rushed in breathlessly. ‘I just saw something strange outside!’ he exclaimed. The staff peered out the window but could see nothing unusual. Just then, an old lady walked in, waving her purse excitedly. 'Did you hear?' she asked breathlessly. 'Someone said they saw a unicorn grazing in our parking lot!' Everyone burst into laughter—except for one confused delivery driver who had just parked his truck there.}
4. One day after school, a curious child noticed that every time they approached Cobalt Credit Union, their pet hamster started running frantically on its wheel. Was it the building's mysterious security lights or something else entirely? Finally, the kid asked an elderly neighbor who worked there part-time. ‘Grandma,’ they said, ‘why does my hamster go nuts near your credit union?’ Grandma smiled and replied, “Oh honey, he’s not going crazy—just trying to keep up with all our late-night parties!”
