All's Wells That Ends....

Village Savings Bank....First Fidelity....First Union....Wachovia....Wells Fargo......?

Somehow, the people who work inside this building have established continuity for their customers over the years through several changes.

We can pretty much bank (sorry) on the fact that this one isn't the last change, but we hope that whatever name appears above the door that the people inside remain true to their own values, and that WF adopts those values, instead of giving the employees a Mission Statement.

Otherwise, why would we bother to go there?

We can't resist another poke at this:

Here's something that never changes in spite of financial crises, war surges, stimulus packages, economic recovery, the Giants in the Series!

We have spoken about this trend before.

When wandering in mid-town between appointments, we highly recommend The Leather Spa for a shine. It's a great way to spend $4 + tip.

Speaking of tips: just about every fashionista in Manhattan and around the world uses the shoe repair services here. Every editor (well, they send someone in a Town Car), editorial assistant, stylist, visiting sartorialist. You will see the most attractive looking women in NYC here and somewhat less attractive guys getting a shine as an excuse to see them get their Jimmy's, Manolo's, Gucci's, etc. fixed
