Non-musical history for today: 1831 – First documented bank heist in U.S. history, when burglars stole $245,000 (1831 values) from the City Bank (now Citibank) on Wall Street. Most of the money was recovered. I find old-timey bank robberies fascinating. There’s no style or grace to it these days. The “kids” today just brandish (or don’t) a gun and usually are sloppy. There’s something romantic about the old ones. Not condoning the action or saying it’s right, but there’s just something storied about them. But, it goes without saying… DON’T!
