I remember my uncle's bank was downtown. It was definitely a thing of the 80s. Whenever my grandma would come with us whenever he'd go to the bank, she always amazed by how much downtown had changed. And that was in the 90s.
I mean, banks being downtown was a think like... 100 years ago. When banks generally had one main location and making it as grandiose as possible (by spending depositors money) made you seem less likely to go out of business.

Back when "branches" literally meant a branch of the main bank... but then in the 70s and 80s when people realized they could just NEVER LEAVE THEIR CAR EVER it means tons of downtowns were invaded with motor banks.

They are just such a horrible use of space and are the most pedestrian unfriendly thing imaginable since there are like 8 entrances and exits from all of them that just kill a block of sidewalk.
