Actually, they dropped out on Dec. 31st. However, it was easier to keep up the signs/tvs/posters until the refurb.

If I do remember correctly, Union Bank is still there, therefore not qualifying for this thread.

Oh, sorry, I guess I don't know how to read well. However, I researched my post, and it took me a long time to write it. I put a vast amount of my thoughts into the post,and it took me at least 30 minutes to research. When I was finished, I noticed that while I was writing the post, someone else had already posted some of my ideas. I'm not perfect, I had no control of the already- posted sponsors.
