About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the dead of night, when even the Arkansas breeze seemed to hush, a delivery driver pulled up to the quiet parking lot of the Arkansas Federal Credit Union. The moonlight reflected off the glass doors, but inside everything was eerily silent. As he unlocked the door, a soft humming began to fill the air. As he approached the counter, an old man in a tweed suit emerged from behind it and smiled warmly.
‘Good evening,’ said the cashier. ‘What can I do for you today?’
The delivery driver blinked. ‘Uhhh…’ he stammered, realizing that no one had been there before.
Turns out, the humming was just the air conditioning, and the only thing unusual was the friendly neighborhood credit union employee who’d been working late every night for twenty years.
2. One morning, a delivery driver parked his truck outside the credit union and noticed something odd on the parking lot sign: ‘Today’s lucky number is 42.’ He shook his head, thinking it must be a prank, but every day for weeks after that, the same mysterious message appeared—until one day, he saw an old lady whispering into her phone while standing beneath the sign. Finally, the delivery driver decided to investigate. Following the old lady one evening, he watched as she approached the sign again, whispering, ‘42, here I come!’ Lo and behold, a small door next to the sign opened, revealing a friendly voice inside saying, “Welcome, member #42!” Turns out, Arkansas Federal Credit Union had a secret VIP lounge for its most loyal members.
3. One autumn afternoon, while customers were browsing through the credit union's lobby, an elderly gentleman approached the receptionist with a puzzled look on his face. ‘Excuse me,’ he asked, ‘have you ever seen a squirrel run into your building?’ The receptionist smiled and shook her head. 'No sir,' she replied, 'we haven't had any furry visitors today.' Just then, another customer—a delivery driver—walked in, muttering under his breath, 'I swear that squirrel ran right past my truck!' The whole lobby burst out laughing, making it a warm and friendly memory for everyone who was there that day.
4. One foggy morning, a local jogger paused near the entrance of the credit union. ‘I wonder,’ he muttered, ‘if anyone ever accidentally deposits their paycheck into someone else’s account?’ Just then, an elderly gentleman approached the counter. ‘Excuse me, young man,’ he said with a twinkle in his eye. ‘Did you receive a deposit from Mr. Johnson yesterday?’ The teller smiled and replied, ‘No sir, but I’ll keep an eye out for it!’
