About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver was unloading boxes into Coastal1 Credit Union when he noticed something odd: every fifth box seemed to contain exactly five dollars less than it should. No one else noticed anything unusual until the next day, when another employee found her lunch money mysteriously missing. Soon enough, everyone in the office started finding their change and small bills going missing—even the CEO’s coffee money disappeared once. It turned out that an old vending machine had been programmed to dispense slightly fewer coins each time someone used it. The mystery was solved with a simple reset, and from then on, no one took the credit union too seriously again.

2. One day, while making a routine deposit, an accountant noticed something odd in the credit union’s lobby trashcan—an envelope with his name on it contained a mysterious note and a single dollar bill. The note read: 'Your balance is perfect!' Curious, he checked—and indeed, there was exactly one dollar more than usual. From then on, whenever anyone made a deposit or withdrawal, they’d find a dollar mysteriously appearing or vanishing from their account. It became known as the ‘one-dollar fairy’ of Coastal1 Credit Union, bringing joy to everyone who visited.

3. At midnight, as security guards locked up Coastal1 Credit Union, a faint humming sound echoed through the empty lobby. No one could explain where it came from or why it only played during quiet hours. One night, an elderly neighbor stopped by to deposit his check. He heard the humming too and insisted on staying until it stopped. The next morning, everyone found out that the old man had fallen asleep in his car outside, still waiting for the noise to end—all because he was convinced it was a special signal from Coastal1’s board of directors.

4. Late one night, a janitor was mopping floors at Coastal1 Credit Union when he heard a strange clicking noise coming from behind the counter. Curious, he peered around the corner and saw nothing but an old cash register blinking ominously. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and a voice whispered, ‘Forgot your change?’ Turning pale, the janitor replied, ‘No thanks!’ and ran out laughing—only to bump into a delivery driver who asked if everything was okay.
