About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of Albuquerque, a delivery driver pulled up to Cooperativa de Ahorro y Credito Salinas LTDA. As he stepped out, he noticed an old man standing outside, muttering something under his breath and pointing towards the bank's entrance. The delivery driver approached curiously. ‘What’s going on?’ he asked politely. The old man replied, ‘Just waiting for my lucky number to appear.’ Turned out it was 8:09 AM—exactly when the clock struck nine, right on time. They both laughed, and the old man said, “See you next week!”
2. At dusk, a neighborhood watch volunteer noticed an unusual humming sound coming from behind the bank's walls. Curious, she approached closer and saw nothing but the usual security cameras and lights. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood was talking about it—until a delivery driver joked that maybe they were testing new speakers for the bank’s Christmas party. Everyone laughed, and soon the story became just another funny tale around town.
3. In the quiet afternoon sunshine of El Paso, a little girl pointed excitedly towards the bank's entrance. ‘Mama,’ she whispered, ‘look at that dancing shadow!’ As they approached, her mother smiled and said, ‘That’s just Mr. Gonzalez, the bank manager, stretching his legs after lunch.’ They both laughed, but as they walked away, the little girl turned back with a puzzled look and asked, ‘But why does he always dance like that when no one is watching?’
4. In the golden twilight of Las Vegas, a security guard peered through the glass doors of Cooperativa and swore he saw money floating in mid-air. Suddenly, an old man shuffled out, muttering about ‘maldiciones’ and misplaced coins. The guard chuckled, realizing it was just another senior citizen playing with his change. As he turned away, he heard someone whisper, ‘Hey, watch where you’re pointing that flashlight!’
