Jan. 6. Bank of America has temporarily closed its branch on West Catawba without prior warning or explanation, although the on-site ATM is open. The temporary closure apparently extends from this past Monday Jan. 4 through Thursday Jan. 7, with reopening, according to the web site, this Friday. It’s unclear if the temporary closure is related to the coronavirus pandemic. Bank officials did not respond for comment. A sign on the drive-up window said: “Due to circumstances beyond our control, we are temporarily closed.”
