You are exactly right on that. I was a First Federal customer, but forgot their name. It's been a while.

Nothin' shakin' on Shakedown Street.
Used to be the heart of town.
Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart.
You just gotta poke around.

Chamber of Commerce might have an old business listing. Any one with a Yellow Pages collection out there? Old DowntowN pics?

Must have been a really "silly bet". Care to share with us? :)

Stephen is correct I wrote name incorrectly - it was First National Bank of Ohio with address of 14601 Detroit Avenue.

FirstMerit purchased First National Bank as we already discussed.

FirstMerit then moved to Rocky River (Detroit & Wooster.) They moved into bldg. KeyBank was previously occupying. KeyBank accounts from RR location merged with KeyBank on Warren Road.

Suzie I don't have proof of when FirstMerit was there - only First National business card from '93. I am guessing FM was there from '95 to 2000 / '02. You could call FirstMerit in RR to get firm dates or KeyBank in Lakewood could tell you when Safe Deposit Boxes were moved from RR.
