There have been a rash of bank closings over the past few weeks and that now includes a national chain with many locations in Illinois that has closed dozens of branches elsewhere.
This appears to be a major shakeup in the banking industry. One of the most prominent banks in America announced they are closing more than 100 locations and I've confirmed that 1 of them is in Missouri.
As Joe Dredge pointed out in his post yesterday, the last remaining Sears store in Illinois is closing. Their Schaumberg store, Illinois' last open Sears, is done in November.
