Could not be more different than Mama Dukes

So it looks like a Bank of America is going into the old Mama Dukes spot. Too bad. I was really hoping for another restaurant to replace Mama Dukes.

    Don't you know? We don't have enough banks until there are 3 on each block!

    dont want to say it, but banks are pretty useful, it would show other businesses that this hood has arrived and they'll open other stores.

    I think there's plenty of businesses opening in the neighborhood without another bank. I wonder if they'll actually have a real branch or it'll just be ATMs.

    Cynically, I'm betting on another ATM kiosk like the 2 already on 7th Ave.

    i was almost of two minds about this, because i use b of a and it would be nice to have a branch closer to me.

    then i realized that, like the other two locations closest to me (7th and union, EPkwy and kingston), it is exactly a mile from my house. (okay, the others are like .9 miles away, but still.) i'm beginning to take this perfect spacing personally.

    Where is this? Another B of A customer here, and like Sweet tea, I'll be really psyched to get a branch (atm, I'll take whatever I can get).

    Sorry Carny!
