The old Reed Electric building has been a derelict for at least five years. The retaining wall behind it is falling, and the uncared-for building is generally pulling down the area. Banks are clean and responsible businesses. They draw great customers. Book Hill has been doing so well the last couple of years, and the new bank will serve as the foundation for the Hill. <BR/><BR/>Instead of criticizing a clean and responsible new business, why don't we try to clean up the garbage associated with the rat infested neighboring restaurants? Come on people, WAKE UP! We should welcome Commerce Bank to our neighborhood--I do.<BR/><BR/>NedAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22305958.post-21645052257973127632008-03-09T22:09:00.000-04:002008-03-09T22:09:00.000-04:00Why oh why do we need another bank?

And this is a historic section of Georgetown known as Book Hill with lots of unique stores, salons and cafes. A bank bring NOTHING!
