About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver asked curiously: ‘Why does Comerica Bank’s security guard always wave at empty parking spaces?’ The security guard smiled mysteriously and whispered, ‘He thinks it’s a secret signal from the bank president, who parks there every day.’ The delivery driver shook his head, laughing softly, as he drove off—leaving behind another urban legend for Detroit's streets.

2. One afternoon, a little girl pointed excitedly and whispered to her mother: ‘Mama, why is that bank guard talking to himself in Spanish?’ The mom smiled and replied softly, ‘Honey, he’s not talking to himself—he’s just saying hello to our new neighbor who speaks only Spanish.’ The little girl nodded thoughtfully, then turned back with a smile, whispering again, ‘So Mama, does that mean everyone in Mexico talks like that?’

3. One day, after school, a boy noticed something peculiar outside Comerica Bank's glass doors. Every time he passed by, a small bird would land on the same spot, then fly away in a hurry, as if it were being chased by invisible guards. Finally curious, the boy followed the bird one day and found out that every afternoon, right before closing time, an impatient delivery driver would honk his horn too loudly near the door, scaring off any unsuspecting birds. From then on, locals joked that Comerica Bank had its very own ‘bird alarm’ system.

4. Late one night, an employee leaving Comerica Bank heard a strange humming coming from inside. Curious, they peered through the window and saw nothing but shadows moving behind the counter. Curious, they opened the door slowly—just in time to see a delivery driver adjusting his headlights outside. Turns out, the eerie hum was actually his truck’s engine reflecting off the glass.
