Seaway is coming to Bronzevile

So, just down the street from Seaway Bank on 87th Street is a branch Illinois Service Federal (ISF), another black-owned bank which has their headquarters in Bronzeville. Just so happens that all you have to do is go due North on King Drive and before you know it, you're there at ISF HQ. Now Seaway will have a branch in Bronzeville just up the street on King Drive (at 35th Street) from ISF.

It will be located in the historic, landmark building called, The Supreme Life Building. Until recently, it was home to a branch of Washington Mutual (WaMu) which during the whole crisis in the financial industry was bought out by Chase Bank. Chase already has a branch on the west side of 35th/King Drive. That of course paved the way for Seaway to take a spot in the Supreme Liberty Life building.

You see even in this economy some businesses are expanding. :)

BTW, this flyer below was on display at the Seaway Bank table during this past weekend's Art Fair.
