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.

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

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.

Quotethey tank the economy

hedge funds, rating agencies, mortgage brokers and underwriters, appraisers, homebuilders, developers, speculators, pensions begging wall street for more yield, but yeah "banks are evil" is a little simpler explanation.  they were a major player, but it took a hell of a lot of stupidity/complicity from a huge amount of people not employed by investment banks (btw not consumer banks)

Quoteget a bailout and let everybody else hold the bag

well, taxpayers did hold the bag for a bit, but TARP made money for taxpayers in the end.  cant say that for many (any?) gov. programs

QuoteThe fee to 'hold' my money while they lend it out for profit is way down the list of pet peeves.

So they provide a service, or no?

from below: nationwide network of ATMs, staff and support centers, statements and record keeping and an online portal with bill pay services.  if you don't have a large enough balance (which isn't that huge) to get accounts for free then you should have to share in those costs. 
You mad bro because you sold your investments in 2008 and never make it back, or something?  your bitterness is common, if not rooted in facts

Join a Credit Union... I have not had a "Bank" account in many years...

that's true re credit unions fees, their tax exemption allows them to do things that wouldn't otherwise be economically feasible.  them cheating the system via tax exemption would be an easy way for congress to raise revenue by fixing that loophole to pay for their tax cut.  interesting to see if its in the final bill

but mostly it's kinda odd/crazy that institutions that pay zero income tax are held up as some moral crusader against the evil empire of banks.  their exemption goes and vystar won't be able to forget that its your money fast enough
