Bank of America Corp, the biggest bank in Massachusetts, plans to shutter four more branches in the state in March, including one near Boston City Hall, the latest in a string of closings.
The Charlotte, N.C., bank, which is in the process of thinning its network of branches across the country, said it plans to close offices at 3 Center Plaza in Boston, One Chace Road (Crossroads Common) in Freetown, 181 Court St. in Plymouth, and 3065 North Main St. in Springfield. In addition, the bank plans to eliminate the drive-up window at its branch on Main Street in Westfield. The bank has already closed dozens of branches in Massachusetts in the last few years.

Citizens bank has smaller offices - some located in supermarkets - but it seems like they are more middle class customer oriented than the track Bank of America is running along - a 12,000 square foot office in the middle of Back Bay might be just hoopydoopy for an executive at some ad agency, but where does Bessie Gallooty from Dorchester park her car so she can go make out a loan application? Ah yes, now it comes - she maybe should go online and not bother the bankers in the 12,000 square foot hanger-like office.
