Yes please. I'd love to have a branch downtown so I could walk to it from my office.

I'm sorry, but I hate this idea. You will have this great building that will finally be brought back to life and the main floor with these amazing arches will be closed by 5 p.m.

^I don't see any reason why the branch needs to take up the entire first floor.

Just left our mortgage with Chase.  They are corrupt robbers!

Do they have the word "Bank" in their name?  There you go!

Went with First Summit and they killed it for us

Chase: 100,00-
Comm first 100,00+

You do the math

this is not at all surprising - Chase was supposed to go on the first block of Laura Street several years ago, but backed out when the Barnett plans surfaced. Guessing they have been signed up for some time - just doubt they thought it would take this long.

I personally wouldn't bank with Chase (already had a bad experience with them in the past), but I know they're a very popular national bank and there's no doubt that this will be a plus for downtown. Didn't they used to have a location where jimmy Johns is? Or was that Fidelity?

Perimeter fencing is now up around the Barnett, presumably for the next 18 months.

Like with the Chophouse, it sucks to have the sidewalk closed for so long, but it'll be worth it in the end.

Mann I am so excited! You're right about the sidewalk...but this will be so huge for downtown.

oh man i know, those meanie weanie bankers!

I usually have $250 in my account and they try to make me pay a small fee for a nationwide network of ATMs, staff and support centers, statements and record keeping and an online portal with bill pay services.  They're making $0.75 on my balance! The very nerve!  Then I want a mortgage and they tell me my low, inconsistent income and self-employed status means i'll have to pay slightly more than someone with AAA credit.  Ridiculous!

No, it more like they tank the economy, get a bailout and let everybody else hold the bag. The fee to 'hold' my money while they lend it out for profit is way down the list of pet peeves.

I had lunch at Adams Street Deli, surrounded by Barnett construction workers who all seemed genuinely excited about the project.
