After finally deciding to break up with Bank of America, I set up an account at Chicago's local North Community Bank. Despite some initial concerns, I've been happy with the new bank so far - I've enjoyed the many ATMs and locations around the city, the friendly staff, and the smug feeling that I'm supporting a local institution instead of a creepy giant bank with questionable practices. And though I don't like to make decisions based on gimmicks, I can't help but like the fact that North Community is Chicago's only dog-friendly bank (owing to the fact that the owner's wife founded PAWS, a no-kill humane society). During my first visit to the Uptown branch, a couple came in with their two pups, including the Cocker Spaniel above. This guy seems pretty pleased with the bank as he checks out the $10,000 loan offer.
