I don't know, my local bank is pretty awesome. 2 branches, 4 ATMs, friendly service, functional online banking, financially solvent w/ little if any exposure to the sub-prime mess.
There's probably an awesome little local bank near you too.
Yup! I'm a member of the state employees' credit union around here. Attending public university makes me eligible to join. They have four or five ATMs in the neighborhood around campus, and a branch that's right on my walk to and from school. Plus, I can use any credit union ATM in the country. It's pretty rad!
