HSBC BANK ELIMINATING SATURDAY HOURS IN BETHESDA (PHOTOS)

At a time when banks are popping up all over town - and when one of them, TD Bank, is boasting about its expanded hours - HSBC Bank is taking the opposite approach. Starting Tuesday, October 14, its branch inside the Lionsgate condominiums is changing its hours - and dropping Saturday hours altogether. The bank will then be open only from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday - Friday. Previously, the bank had been open on Saturdays from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

Ironically, TD Bank will be opening directly across Old Georgetown Road from HSBC, on the site of the current Shell gas station.

I've never actually seen anyone in there, so I guess this will be okay. What is it about banking that makes a million un-used branch locations the shiznit?

I'm remembering all the businesses that used to be in the old Georgetown Square/Woodmont Corner building, and comparing it to what's in the first floor of the Lionsgate today - a part-time bank and a defunct new-age healing store.

Hopefully the other buildings going up now will be better in terms of ground-floor retail.
