Quick withdraw: HSBC name-change shocker!

As I exclusively reported with an exclusive back on April 27, the new HSBC branch at Second Avenue and Ninth Street showed off its new name... (and helpful warning that guns aren't allowed inside!)



The Stuyvesant Branch.

But now! The branch has changed its name!



Does this mean that the Stuyvesant HSBC branch on First Avenue just past 14th Street has been saved? Or did someone simply make a mistake? Or did millions in focus groups and rebranding just get tossed?

Maybe I should ask Mr. H.

I forgot what H was for

Here's an exclusive, upclose look at the H in the new HSBC branch sign at Second Avenue and Ninth Street... yep, she's a beaut. Thanks guys!



Hoist her up!

New HSBC reminds customers not to bring guns into the branch

Progress and progress at the new HSBC branch on Second Avenue and Ninth Street... the hours and other matters have been posted...



Reminder: No guns, please... if you happen to have a hog leg strapped to your ankle, perhaps you can ask a passerby to hold if for you while you do your banking business...



And the branch has a name...



Which is likely very bad news for patrons of the Stuyvesant HSBC branch on First Avenue just past 14th Street...
