About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver arrived early one morning, only to discover that someone had left a mysterious package in front of First Tech Federal Credit Union. Curious but cautious, he called security. Upon opening the box, everyone found nothing but an old teddy bear wearing a nametag reading ‘Welcome to First Tech!’ Turns out, it was just a practical joke from a neighbor who wanted to brighten their day. The delivery driver chuckled and said, ‘Guess I’ll be stopping here more often.’

2. One day, a regular approached the teller and asked, ‘Do you guys really close for lunch every day?’ The teller nodded. Minutes later, the entire building went dark. Suddenly, everyone heard a voice over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, due to an unexpected power surge, we will be closed until further notice.’ A delivery driver whispered, ‘Guess they forgot to unplug their lunchtime coffee maker again!’

3. One foggy morning, an elderly gentleman walked into the branch carrying a large envelope. As he approached the counter, he cleared his throat and announced over the intercom: 'Attention, everyone! This is not a drill—we’ve found Bigfoot!' The entire branch fell silent for a moment before breaking into laughter. The teller smiled and asked politely, ‘Sir, are you alright?’ He replied with a twinkle in his eye, ‘Just wanted to make sure I had your attention!’ Everyone burst out laughing again, realizing it was just another one of his quirky jokes. That day, First Tech became known as the credit union where Bigfoot regularly stopped by.

4. One autumn afternoon, while the sun was setting over downtown, a delivery driver pulled up outside the First Tech Federal Credit Union. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he heard a soft humming sound coming from inside the building. Curious, he peered through the glass doors—and found no one there. The delivery driver shrugged and decided to investigate further. Inside, amidst the quiet rows of computers, he saw only a small, blinking light on an old server rack. Smiling sheepishly, he muttered, ‘Must be my imagination playing tricks.’ And with that, he left, never mentioning anything to anyone—except maybe his neighbor later that night, who swore he’d seen a ghost in the same place.
