I've been looking for commentary on this, and haven't found it anywhere. Is there a way you could post or describe the article? Did Crain's say there was no chance RBS would rename its US operations "LaSalle" or move the Citizens HQ to Chicago?

I mean, Citizens HQ currently is in Providence for crying out loud. Being within striking distance of NYC may be nice, but for day to day use it doesn't really come to mind as a location you'd want for your headquarters. It also may be closer to the UK but the air connections aren't as good.
