Does anyone else think this is odd?


Now, let me set the stage. There is a Bank of America catty-corner from us. There's another bank in the parking lot that pretty much adjoins the Apartment complex. We have a Bi-Lo about 30 seconds away with an ATM machine inside. There are various merchants around that allow you to use your debit card & get cash back. This photo is also just down the street from us, and you gotta wonder: Who does Wachovia think their customers are? And keep in mind, this in not attached to a shopping center. It's at the crossroads of a major intersection, with a Church across the street, and then the shopping center areas described above up the street. But this: It's all by itself, on a triangular island. Next to a cemetary. (I really need to see why these aren't posting in the best resolution....)

Patrick & I have started calling it the "Cash Crypt" or the "Money Mausoleum." I think that if they were going to put it here, at least they could have followed Disney's lead and done some creative decorating: you enter through a darkened portal, maybe they make it look like an old crypt. As soon as you enter, the weight of your car tires sets of scary music, some screaming and shrieking. You pull up to the ATM, make your transaction, and a ghostly voice says, "Thank you for using Wachovia." Then you leave, and as you look in your rearview mirror, you see three ghosts waving at you. I don't know...it's just a thought.

Well, I think that when you're a ghost, it may be hard to carry a debit or credit card around all the time since you are transparent...so, maybe this is a creative way for them to get cash when the pizza order comes...you gotta tip the driver!!
