TD Bank branch opening next Friday on 2nd Avenue; party with free gift for the 1st 100 visitors!



Hey, that TD Bank branch anchoring the Jupiter 21 building on Second Avenue at East First Street is opening late next week.

The new neighborly neighbors placed welcome brochures on cars around the, uh, neighborhood with more details… the trees are coming! (And how many trees went into making these brochures???)





Any thoughts on what the gift might be? (Do banks still give out toasters? Or have they downsized to toaster mitts?)

Of course this Grand Opening Celebration will cause the new Mars Bar coming to a space somewhere in this building to ramp up their own First Day/Night Extravaganza.

    A few years back, when a new bank opened on 4th Street and A (it's now the Salander bank), I stopped in on their first day and got to pick an envelope. Inside -- $50!

    Well the bank that laundered all that Mexican Drug money without facing penalties (to big to jail) is offering a shrunken head with all new accounts

    @ Eden Bee: actually the herpes giveaway would be at STD Bank. TD stands for Transmitted Diseases, which would mean ALL transmitted diseases, including Whooping Cough and Bubonic Plague. So I'd recommend that the next time anyone walks by a TD Bank, hold your breath. It could save your life.

    Heh! If I come away from this bank with scurvy it will be worth it. Leprosy is airborne! The more you know...

    Its a ploy to have you open an account, only to be given pens, many of which don't, followed by sour, if not stale cherry lollipops, in addition to a stupid keychain that is probably made in China, and will break within a month. Who in the fuck needs all that extra shit? Skip.
