About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, an elderly gentleman entered Comerica Bank and approached the teller counter with a peculiar request. "I’d like to deposit this,” he said, holding up a small envelope. The teller took it curiously, only to discover that inside were dozens of tiny origami cranes. The teller carefully counted the delicate birds, raising an eyebrow as she asked, ‘Sir, are these for some sort of contest?’ The old man smiled gently, replying, ‘No, my dear, they’re for good luck. One for every year I’ve been banking here.’ Everyone in the bank burst into laughter, realizing that perhaps this was just another way for an old customer to remind them how long his loyalty lasted.

2. A little girl walked into her dad’s Comerica Bank one day, pointed excitedly at something on the wall, and asked, ‘Daddy, why is that painting crying?’ The father looked up and saw an old watercolor of a sad-looking horse. He smiled and said, 'Oh honey, that's just Mr. Whinny. He's been there longer than I have.' The little girl giggled and ran off, while the dad thought to himself, 'Guess I'll never understand art, but it's nice she finds it so interesting.'

3. One afternoon, a delivery driver pulled up to Comerica Bank's loading dock. As he opened the back of his truck, he nearly dropped his headphones in surprise—an old, dusty ukulele had been wedged between boxes. The delivery driver picked it up curiously and strummed a few notes. To his amusement, an elderly gentleman from next door walked over, smiled warmly, and said, 'That’s my ukulele! I must’ve left it here years ago.' They both laughed, and now, whenever someone delivers something to Comerica Bank, they leave with a little musical surprise.

4. On a chilly autumn morning, a man in a tweed suit rushed into Comerica Bank, clutching a crumpled envelope. He asked the startled teller if they could process it immediately, but no one knew what strange ritual he was about to perform. As the teller took the envelope with a puzzled expression, the man whispered something about ‘the third Tuesday of October.’ Suddenly, everyone heard a loud beep from the security system—someone had accidentally triggered it while delivering a package. The whole bank burst out laughing as the embarrassed man and delivery driver tried to explain their confusion.
