Chase Bank nears opening on River Road in Bethesda (Photos)

At least the building no longer looks like an abandoned WWII concrete bunker.
ReplyDeleteEverything about this location looks like it’s meant for a bank robbery getaway. Gives me the creeps honestly.
ReplyDelete@10:12 totally agree with you!
ReplyDeleteWho at Chase thought this was a good location for this? Seriously. I'd like to see the pitch and powerpoint for it.
ReplyDeleteIt would have made a perfect location for Popeyes!
ReplyDelete@9:40 AM Thanks! It seems absolutely nuts that a bank branch would be approved/built on a "relatively" high speed road with multiple ways to escape. I'm never going in this place.
