German-American Bank - Los Angeles, CA

I don't approve of giant hands coming in and poking buildings. It's especially hazardous around traffic and streetcars, and I don't think the pedestrians appreciate it either. But there it is, and I can't do a thing about it.
And anyway, I guess I wouldn't mind a safe deposit box for $2 per year.

    That is really a classic looking building. The hands thing is spooky.

    Okay, so what is the plan? To push the building over? And how can a deposit be special and ordinary at the same time?

    Randy, I think the hand is going to tip the building slightly, grab the vaults and then set the building back down again. As for being special and ordinary at the same time...I'm guessing you probably are; I know I am.

    Besides the scary hand, I was struck by the deposit rates. They're higher than you'd get today!
