Bank On This Being Cool
PrairieMod reader, Karl K., dropped us a line to say that he came across an interesting opportunity for architecture lovers in Gainesville,
Florida. Apparently, there is a bank drive-in facility that's been replaced by a
building-side window. It's now available for rent along with adjacent
parking and landscaping on a corner, in-town site. The design is solidly Organic in nature and some industrious person
could make a killer walk-up or drive-in business. Thanks Karl! If anyone's interested in finding out more details, call the phone number pictured in the photo.
