Bank backlash is a recurring theme, but EV Grieve reports that some Stuy Towners are campaigning to save the HSBC branch on First Ave. near the complex. The bank is moving to the space on Second Avenue and Ninth Street vacated by cocoa pusher Max Brenner, which would create a "hardship" for residents with disabilities. Posted fliers urge people to contact politicians and beg for the bank to stay. [EV Grieve]
