I have seen some bank branches taking up, like, a full 1/2 block space! 7000 sq feet with a couple ATMs and twenty empty desks. (oh yeah) and a bank of 20 teller windows with 2 tellers sitting behind it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-48732967397360918142011-04-19T17:18:53.340-04:002011-04-19T17:18:53.340-04:00Plenty of bank-ing
