Bank of America was bought out/merged with a NC bank, hence the HQ.

Nationsbank??  I'm guessing.

Wachovia maybe. Not sure now.

When ever I hear Wachovia, I think of Vlad the impaler.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

When I was in Charlotte, there were a lot of Wells Fargo ads referencing local themes (to the extent Charlotte really has any) and saying THANKS FOR WELCOMING US, CHARLOTTE!

Gino's (as someone said up-thread, its pizza is pretty crappy, though it used to be better before the mid-80's),

I was thinking back to this a while ago.  Their "pub" in downtown Huntington was always a fun place to go in the 70s and 80s and I can remember when the pizza *seemed* to be good.  But I wonder if it was just "good" by comparison due to few other options. 

Now having said all that, the pizza now isn't as bad as it was during the late 80s & 90s.  We stopped there last January on the drive back from Morgantown and the pizza was edible.
