Another one bites the dust!

#14) Main Street Bank, of Northville, Michigan, was closed by regulators today, the 14th to fail this year, as tightening credit and a deepening housing slump accelerates government action to shore up confidence in financial institutions.

On a side note, FDIC should have a built in rule: Shall your bank fail, and you were an executive, u shall be publicly flogged. Or do it like they do it in Saudi Arabia. Have your greedy check signing arm cut off.

WOW! I just moved from Northville about two years ago. They are still building like mad in Michigan. Buildings going up everywhere. This is going to be like some third world country after a while. Thousands of half finished buildings everywhere.
