Memorial Drive or Bank Parkway?

The Southwest corner of East 131st Street and Memorial Drive will soon be home to Arkansas Valley State Bank. Clearing for the land began in October. Memorial Drive in Bixby, Oklahoma has become a magnet for banks. Currently, Bank of Oklahoma, Arvest, Grand Bank, Citizens Bank, Community Bank, First Pryority Bank, M&I Bank, and probably some more I forgot, all occupy a five mile stretch of Memorial. This new build from AVSB will soon add another. Word is out that still another bank is deciding between the intersections of 121st and 101st for their entrance into the Bixby market.
