When I got home from Indiana there was a letter waiting from my bank. The bank is closing the Village branch and relocating to the County Seat. All safety deposit boxes in the current building have to be emptied by mid-November. This was the first I had heard that the bank was moving. It's the same building I walked in as a little girl w/ dad when he set me up w/ my own bank account. I've maintained an account there ever since (and have a passbook to prove it). I'd also leased a couple of safety deposit boxes there since sometime in the '70s. When Wells Fargo turned me down for a loan, that bank had given me one to build Haven. The original owner sold the business a few years ago and since then I had become concerned about how the bank was being run. I set up another account in the other bank in the Village. Think I'll gradually move all of my business over there. Stopped by the bank today and transferred everything in my remaining safety deposit box to a storage box I'd brought w/. The teller asked if I'd like to be put on a list for safety deposit boxes at their new location. I declined. I'll find another place to keep my prized Jesse 'The Body' Ventura trading card.
