Broadbrim on Bank Robberies and Broadway Transit Talks
Broadbrim recounts a 13 year bank theft at the Shoe and Leather Bank by a clerk, his employer the outsider benefitting, a self-drowned lawyer, and a board’s overhaul. The piece also surveys Rev Jonathan Bell’s alleged misconduct, Broadway tunnel plans costing tens of millions, and Mayor Strong’s street-cleaning reforms under Colonel Waring amid labor tensions.
