3 opened? how many were closed?

it’d be better to compare Reagan years (1981-1989), Clinton years (1993-2000), GWBush years (2001-2008) and 0bama years (2009-) on the same chart

Very interesting WSJ article on the Bank of Bird in Hand is here. The skinny:

1. An average of 100 new banks per year were opened in the three decades prior to 2010.
   
2. Bank of Bird in Hand found an underserved market, mainly real Amish farmers and small businesses and structured small loans to serve their needs.
