YOU CALL IT CORN, WE CALL IT MONEY.

I discovered this old sign painted on the side of a builing in lower Manhattan about 2 years ago. I never had my camera with me to document it, but I made a special trip over to see it on my lunch hour the other day.
I am attracted to this sign because of the name CORN. When I was very little, my aunt's decided to call me Corn instead of Conn. Anyway I did a little research and found this out about The Corn Exchange Bank.
