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

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.
