History
In 1925 Pyramid began as a mutual investment group, when the post office was located in the old Ronstadt's Hardware building at the southwest corner of South Sixth and East Broadway. At the end of the first year the earned interest was split among the men, who bragged about the money they received. More joined up.
Soon, Pyramid became a leader of the credit union movement in the United States. Charter members helped start other credit unions in Tucson. Pyramid was in operation years before credit unions were officially recognized and regulated by the state. After many trips to Phoenix and months of work with the Arizona lawmakers, an Arizona Credit Union law was passed in 1929. Pyramid received one of the state's first charters to formally operate as a credit union, on the first available day, 11/29/1929. As word spread about the credit union, Pyramid's membership grew.
Business was conducted from the pockets of the treasurer, wherever he might be found - in the post office, his home, on the mail route or from the tailgate of a parcel post truck.
The first Pyramid annual meeting was held in the swing room of the Main Post Office, then in the Federal Building downtown. Two distribution clerks attended the meeting on their break in order to have a quorum. Six of the remaining members went across South Scott to a restaurant and all crowded in the same booth, which began the tradition of the annual dinner.
In the early 1940s, an adding machine was purchased for $75 and a rolltop desk and swivel chair were provided for Pyramid business which officially took place in the basement of Old Pueblo Station at Five Points.
When Old Pueblo Station was closed and the Annex opened at Helen Street and Ninth Ave, the desk was moved near the swing room within sight of the time clock. Many new post office employees, upon hitting the time clock for the first time, would stop at the credit union desk to ask, How much money can I borrow?
In the early years, when there were few expenses, a 10% dividend was paid each six months. A 7% dividend was paid annually for the next 10 years. During World War II, many members were in the armed services. Numerous credit union accounts were closed. Loans were limited by the federal regulations. Total shares were reduced to $2,500. Dividends dropped to 2%. Pyramid barely survived. But, by 1948 membership had grown to 98, with loans of $9,277, shares of $7,668 and deposits of $2,636.
Pyramid took on a new life in the late 1940s with a big push toward attracting postal employees' business. Bulletins were frequently mailed; posters were placed on all station bulletin boards each month. A credit union representative was appointed for all stations and paid five cents for each collection. Unsecured signature loans for well- established members were increased from $100 to $200. To prevent driving the annual dividend below 6%, a ceiling of $1,000 was placed on share accounts, with a maximum monthly deposit of $50. In 1950 assets reached $50,000. One director expressed his opinion that it was doubtful that we would grow much larger. In 1968, assets passed $1 million mark and continued to grow.
As times and regulations changed, Pyramid employed its first Manager, later titled President, separating the day-to-day duties of operating the credit union from the Board of Directors. Munday Curd became Pyramid's first Manager in 1948.
After 29 years of seeing Pyramid Federal Credit Union grow from $10,000 in assets to $3.8 million; from one employee in a back bedroom of his home for an office; drawing $150 a year salary; to 13 part-time employees in a four-room office, Manager Munday Curd, at age 65, felt it was time to retire in 1977.
In late 2000, after much hiking around in the desert looking at many pieces of property, Pyramid decided on two locations, now our Speedway and Rita Ranch locations, which opened one month apart in 2002.
In early 2003, the Pyramid membership approved a change in the by-laws to expand and serve people living in areas near its branches.
In January 2012, Pyramid FCU was re-made into a new organization by merging with the members of the Tucson Telco FCU and the Southern Arizona Communications FCU. These mergers re-made the membership, board and staff of the new Pyramid FCU. Membership in the new Pyramid FCU started at nearly 13,000. Each of the three credit unions enjoyed a long, proud tradition in Tucson. Tucson Telco FCU and the original Pyramid FCU shared branch locations for many years before the merger.
In January 2013, we merged with Tucson Healthcare Affiliates FCU, again re-making the membership, board and staff of the new Pyramid FCU.

IN SPICY TUCSON, BEHOLD THE GIZMO
A bustling Mexican diner in South Tucson serves up a spicy dish drenched in mystery. Popular since the 1950s, this heartbreaker at the Crossroads Restaurant consists of tortillas, lots of cheese and steaming beef. Thats the Gizmo, says restaurant owner Tony Gonzalez. We dont know why its called that. It just always has been.
You could say the Gizmo is a fine metaphor for Tucson. Full of everything, melted by the sun, consumed by a richly divergent population, facing the future while ogling the past. And no ones quite sure how it all came together.
Okay, thats not exactly true. We do know that the area was settled in the first century A.D. by Native American farmers, was visited by Jesuit priests in the 17th century, and was claimed by Spain a hundred years later. We also know that it fell to Mexico in 1821, and became part of the United States under the Gadsden Purchase of 1854.
Affectionately called the Old Pueblo by locals, Tucson is ringed by saguaros and mountains. Its also conveniently placed: a six-hour drive west will get you to San Diego and the coast, Phoenix rises a couple of hours to the north, and the Mexican-American border lies just 66 miles to the south.
Tucsons far-southern placement has sparked an influx of outside culture, shaped to the citys laid-back style. Art is on the move. Scores of galleries open their downtown doors during art festivals and tours, displaying both indigenous and imported inflections. But gallery-goers most often wear shorts and sandals instead of ties and heels.
This cultural mix has produced flourishes of the Old Westwitness the finely appointed dude ranchesand celebrations of nature in fine institutions such as the Arizona-Sonora Museum. Described by The New York Times as probably the most distinctive zoo in the United Sates, it holds incredibly constructed displays of native flora and fauna.
Then comes the landscape, no doubt Tucsons biggest draw of all. Sonoran Desert, marked by saguaro, yucca and agave scattered through a roller-coaster ride of washes and ridges, is the image that brings the region postcard fame.
But the rich, cultural bustle of the community would grind to a halt without nourishment, and thats where a south side hub of Mexican restaurants come in. Tucson is home to the finest northern Mexico found anywhere, from gourmet to traditional. And of course theres always the Gizmolike Tucson, its a bit of both.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping!

SUMMARY
=======
Tucson () is a city and the county seat of Pima County, Arizona, United States, and home to the University of Arizona. The 2010 United States Census put the population at 520,116, while the 2015 estimated population of the entire Tucson metropolitan statistical area (MSA) was 980,263. The Tucson MSA forms part of the larger Tucson-Nogales combined statistical area (CSA), with a total population of 1,010,025 as of the 2010 Census. Tucson is the second-largest populated city in Arizona behind Phoenix, both of which anchor the Arizona Sun Corridor. The city is 108 miles (174 km) southeast of Phoenix and 60 mi (97 km) north of the U.S.–Mexico border. Tucson is the 33rd largest city and the 58th largest metropolitan area in the United States (2014).
Major incorporated suburbs of Tucson include Oro Valley and Marana northwest of the city, Sahuarita south of the city, and South Tucson in an enclave south of downtown. Communities in the vicinity of Tucson (some within or overlapping the city limits) include Casas Adobes, Catalina Foothills, Flowing Wells, Midvale Park, Tanque Verde, Tortolita, and Vail. Towns outside the Tucson metro area include Benson to the southeast, Catalina and Oracle to the north, and Green Valley to the south.
The Spanish name of the city, Tucsón [tukˈson], is derived from the O'odham Cuk Ṣon [tʃʊk ʂɔːn], meaning (at the) base of the black [hill], a reference to a basalt-covered hill now known as Sentinel Peak. Tucson is sometimes referred to as The Old Pueblo.
