Despite dire predictions that a depressed neighbourhood could not support a financial institution, the South Shore Bank fought to make a difference in its community, not only succeeding but earning sunstantial profits. This work tells the story of the people who built the bank and of the neighbourhood it serves, detailing the struggles and successes of this urban revitalization effort.
