About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Comerica Bank's neon sign flickered to life, a delivery driver noticed something odd. The reflection of the glowing letters seemed to shift and dance on the nearby buildings—almost as if they were moving. Curious, he parked his truck and approached the building. Just then, an old neighbor walked by and laughed, ‘Ah, young’un, it’s just the sign playing tricks in that golden sunset light.’ Relieved but embarrassed, the driver nodded and drove off, muttering, ‘Next time I’ll bring my camera for the funny pictures.’

2. At closing time, an elderly gentleman approached the Comerica Bank’s front desk and asked the teller for her phone number. When she hesitated, he explained that every day at exactly five o’clock, the bank’s clock stopped for precisely three seconds. Curious, the teller agreed to give him a call after hours. Later that evening, as she dialed the number, the old man answered cheerfully: ‘Hello? Is that you, my dear? I hope you won’t mind if our clocks are off by three seconds today!’

3. On foggy mornings, when Comerica Bank’s doors were just opening, a mysterious figure in a trench coat would appear and ask for the earliest deposit of the day. One morning, a delivery driver arrived with an oversized box marked ‘Confidential’. The tellers watched curiously as he placed it on the counter. Suddenly, the mysterious figure appeared, took one look at the box, and exclaimed, ‘That’s not our usual!’ Turned out it was a cake from a neighboring bakery—an annual tradition to sweeten up their early-morning routine.

4. In the early hours of dawn, when Comerica Bank’s security lights cast eerie shadows on the street, a small dog began appearing outside its entrance. Every morning, without fail, he would sit patiently until the doors opened, then dash inside and bark frantically near the tellers’ desks before scurrying out again. One day, an old delivery driver asked the manager if dogs were allowed inside. The manager shook his head, but as soon as the door closed behind him, the little dog dashed in, barked once, then ran back out. From that moment on, whenever anyone mentioned dogs, the entire staff burst into laughter—even when it was just another a neighbor’s pet coming for an unexpected visit.
