Bklink: Ciao Commerce Bank, We’ll Miss Your Tacky Branches

November 6th, 2008 · 1 Comment

link-asterisk.jpgWe were wondering when the Commerce Bank on Park Slope’s Fifth Avenue had become a TD North bank. We could have sworn it was still Commerce a couple of day earlier. Now we know, this weekend. “Commerce Bank disappeared on Montague Street in Brooklyn Heights Saturday, as it did at 575 other locations. Green signs bearing the unfamiliar TD brand were quickly installed, and thank goodness, the clock was returned to standard time. It had been stuck in military time for weeks, and we were getting pretty tired of translating 1800 hours into 6 o’clock.” So much changing in the banking business. What an exciting time to be alive!!!–McBrooklyn

    But what about the Penny Arcade? I’ve actually always liked to bring my change to the Commerce on Montague because they cash it in without a fee.
