New Model: AMCI Computers

Good morning. Today I've created a model for AMCI Computers. This building is interesting, for it was once the site of a robbery in the days when it served as the Union State Bank. An account of the robbery follows bellow.

Now Club 53 doesn't looks so lonley on the block. :)
As always, you can download this new model as an early preview, or wait a few weeks and it will start appearing automatically in Google Earth. Also, please "Like" this effort on Facebook!

 Four men held up the Union State bank this morning at about 7;40 and made their get away with ten thousand dollars cash and between $25,000and $35,000 in negotiable paper. The men broke into the bank through the back door before any of the bank force arrived and waited until Assistant Cashier Clifford Olson came.They forced him to open the vault at the point of revolvers and to lie down on the floor with a guard over him. Just as he was forced to the floor, Vice Presidnt V H Christensen arrived and he too was held up and made to lie face down on the floor.The robbers kicked and abused Mr Olson because they thought that he was stalling for time. Four men were in the bank when Mr Olson arrived and after focing him to the floor,one man went out into the car in the alley with instructions from the other three that they would have their work done by 8;20. Lyle Luke talked with the driver without mistrusting what was going on and both he and F E Miller saw the men when they came out of the bank. They used a Chevrolet sedan and drove north out of the ally but it has not been found out in which direction they went after leaving the ally. The men between 25 and 30 years of age and all work dark suits and masks and all were heavily armed.They carried the loot away in leather cases which they brought for the purpose. Police in all directions have been notified and the robbery has been broadcasst over twin city radio stations. The job was conducted rapidly and in a thoroughly business like manner. As we go to press,nothing has been heard about the bandits. Sheriff James A Olson was notified at Balsam Lake and was down here in charge of the case in fifteen minutes with DA McGinnis assisting in the investigation. This is the first time an Amery bank has been held up or robbed. The total loss is covered by insurance.
