This is the branch that I use exclusively for business purposes. I will sorely miss it.

Why is it every time something gets closed in Cuyahoga Falls it is on the east side of town? I will be forced to go to Tallmadge to the bank because I don't like going downtown to do my banking. Hopefully they will change their mind about that closure.
