I have been watching this over the last few weeks and it strikes me as what’s really wrong with our suburban car culture in America. The physical machine takes up but a tiny footprint yet there’s this huge amount of space devoted to it so that cars can cue up to use it. Isn’t the point of North Hills to be a more walkable/sustainable environment that is focused on people instead of cars? While I know that cars a still a huge dependency and will be for some time to come, it still seems ridiculous to me to have this machine’s footprint multiplied countless times just to accommodate our use of it from cars. That’s just my opinion.

Well, this finally alleviates the puzzlement I experienced when I attempted to visit the old BoA branch 3 weeks ago and found it closed for business! I like that there are drive-up ATM’s coming, even if it’s on a separate parcel of land. The ATM at the old building required you to park your car and walk up outside. Not that North Hills is a risky area, but I never feel too comfortable making a cash withdrawal outdoors alone.

BB&T is tearing down theirs and BOA’s to build one new building similar to the one on Kildaire.

How about RBC Bank – Royal Bank of Canada Bank.

Very true, Ryan, haha!

Mind you, though, that this is the bank that changed its name from “North Carolina National Bank” to “NCNB National Bank”

Now I gotta go fix my hot water heater.

“drive-up ATM machines” is redundant drive-up ATM’s is sufficient.
