Every two weeks as a child my parents took my brother and I to save whatever was left from our allowance ( collected from parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles). We moved 1966 and of today, 60 years later, don’t know what happened with our savings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-56373230633491786492020-11-05T19:49:08.906-08:002020-11-05T19:49:08.906-08:00I worked as a Senior Customer Service Rep from 198...I worked as a Senior Customer Service Rep from 1987-1993. The building was GRAND inside like a beautiful palace. When I first went inside after it had become a CVS I actually cried. Our beautiful building was ruined. I even went to stand in the approximate area of my desk.

I thought it was the most amazing space in the world, the huge vault in the basement, the gigantic open main hall. Does anyone anywhere have a picture of the interior? Im so sad I cant find one.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13382456709408746878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-33649692166119977092017-05-18T11:08:11.999-07:002017-05-18T11:08:11.999-07:00I worked at East River Savings Bank from 1971 to a...I worked at East River Savings Bank from 1971 to around 1980.

As a porter he worked there from the 60s to the 90s in the midnight shift and morning shift on Saturdays. I use to fill in on the summer relief for a few years in the 80s. I new that bank inside out, from the top floor where the worker lounge and kitchen was to the big vault down stairs. I made my rounds with a black key punch clock every hour. it was a great bank with a lot of history.Artienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7502312000087595701.post-35103602600670835492014-12-26T11:45:21.267-08:002014-12-26T11:45:21.267-08:00Fascinating!!
