commerce what?

i felt like all of us commerce bank users were just pleasantly surprised when i drove by our bank this morning. the always obnoxiously red bank was now an obnoxious pea green with the words TD Bank spread across the top of the bank.

what...happened...

there was seriously no notice from the bank itself of the consolidation until i drove past the bank this morning and saw that it was green. so now, im wondering if im still a commerce user of if im a td user now, and if it doesn't work like that, then holy shit. where is all my money? where are the safety deposit box contents? 

so i look up the story online, and apparently td [td waterhouse, this is where you've heard of them. big stock fund] had bought out commerce bank for 8.5 million. [seriously, where do they still have the money to do this? --i thought we were in a financial crisis?] long story short, td bank is gluing their sign and color over the old commerce signs. they're keeping everything else within the actual bank the same, including lollypops and doggie treats. i wonder if we get green apple lollypops now instead of the usual red cherry ones? 

our economic crisis has gotten me a bit antsy. i won't lie. we are in such a rut, i don't even see how it'll get better for us. 

well...
