How Bank of America Has Helped a Hot Dog Stand
Los Angeles, CA 90036
United States of America
It was in the year 1941 when Paul and Betty Pink were selling hot dogs from a cart on a corner street in Los Angeles. Bank of America gave them a $4,000 loan in order for them to buy their property. Because of this, their cart has become a little hot dog business, known as Pinky's Hot Dog. I have eaten their hot dogs many tines, and I have always enjoyed them.
As I pass by Melrose and Highland Ave., I can see people standing in line to get their hot dogs. One day, when I was driving by, there was a sign stating that they were selling their hot dogs at a low price. There was a special occasion at that time, and the line was quite long. This spot is known as the Hollywood Legend.
I'm not getting paid for this article, I'm just letting people know that although presently there are people who have negative feelings about banks, there are some banks that try to
help. Bank of America is doing their best.

Post a CommentIt's nice to hear a positive story about a bank!
UGH. I will never buy a hot dog from them. How do we know they couldn't get a loan from another bank, a local or credit union? We don't. Doesn't exonerate BofA from being one of the main reasons this economy stinks and millions of dollars gone from customer's accounts because of frivolous fees. SCUMBAGS.
Very interesting! Well Written!
I've heard of this place but have never been by it.
Great article...Thanks for sharing!
They lend money to make money, that's what banks do.
When I was a small business development specialist, I helped clients apply for bank loans, etc. For the most part, banks were very positive and helpful. I know no one wants to hear that but you can't start a business without money and the banks are the ones who loan it. SBA loans aren't even made directly from the government. They are nothing more than guaranteed bank loans.
nice positive article, there are so many gloomy ones nice to have a positive one for a chance
:)
Nice, and I love the name...lol!
