There’s something funny going on at the bank …

For some reason, one of my colleagues asked me to come up with a list of financial movies - Wall Street, Boiler Room, etc. Can’t imagine why stuff like that is on anyone’s mind …

The clip I can’t get out of my mind is the bank run from It’s a Wonderful Life.

Suddenly this scene looks scary, doesn’t it? If only we could get by on $20 these days. But let’s have a little fun. Who in the read world is The Mr. Potter in all this mess? The forgetful Uncle Billy?

And most importantly, who’s our George Bailey?

The floor is yours …

Sadly, the “greed is good” speech from Wall Street is what I have been hearing.

Wine & Dine: More local restaurants are offering wine tasting/dinner pairings [review]

Wine glasses

Some are searching for new customers. Others are looking for a test market for new appetizers or entrees. Others want customer feedback on which new wines to add to the wine list. Whatever their reasons, more restaurants in the Dayton area are using wine tastings and wine dinners to try to get new, fresh faces to cross their doorsteps.
