About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, while a delivery driver was unloading boxes near Cooperativa de Ahorro y Crédito Cupey, he stopped mid-step, startled by an unusual sound coming from inside the building. It was like someone humming an old folk song mixed with the soft tinkling of coins. Curious, the driver peered through the window and saw an elderly gentleman counting coins in perfect rhythm. Turned out, every weekday at exactly 9:15 AM, Don Pedro would sing his favorite folk tune while sorting savings for the cooperative. The delivery man smiled, shook his head, and whispered to himself, ‘Another day, another mystery solved—just don’t ask where he keeps finding those old coins!’

2. A little boy walked into the Cooperative Bank one day and asked his mom, ‘Mom, why does the ATM talk to us in Spanish?’ The mom smiled and whispered, 'Because it’s programmed that way.' The little boy nodded thoughtfully, then said, 'Oh, I get it—just like my teacher talks to me in English!' And they both laughed as they left the cozy bank.

3. One afternoon, as a young girl waited for her father outside the bank's entrance, she noticed something odd—a small bird kept flying in through the open door and circling around the teller windows. Finally, an old lady approached the bird with a gentle smile and said, 'Pobrecito, you're lost!' She picked up the confused creature and handed it to the girl, whispering, 'Take good care of him.' The girl looked puzzled but smiled, thinking maybe her day wasn’t so bad after all.

4. While loading boxes onto the truck, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the back of the van—a small, handwritten note addressed to ‘Mr. Cupey.’ Curious, he decided to keep it until he could return it. Back at the bank, nobody claimed the mysterious note. The delivery driver joked that maybe Mr. Cupey was on vacation and left instructions for his pet parrot to manage the accounts. Everyone laughed, and from then on, whenever someone lost something, they’d ask if it belonged to Mr. Cupey’s feathered friend.
