THE WILLIAMSBURG SAVING BANK CLOCK IS WORKING AGAIN, AFTER 2 YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION ON THE BUILDING. IF YOU GREW UP IN AREA OF THE BUILDING THIS WAS YOUR CLOCK. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS LIFT MY HEAD OFF MY PILLOW AND SEE WHAT TIME IT WAS. PLAYING SPORTS ON THE STREETS MY BUDDIES AND I WOULD GO DEEP IN OUTFIELD TO CHECK TIME SO WE WOULD BE HOME FOR 5PM DINNER. AS PREVIOUSLY REPORTED BY NEWSPAPERS THAT CLOCK NEVER WORKED, THE OLD TIMERS KNOW THAT THE CLOCK ALWAYS WORKED AND WAS A BEACON FOR US. I HAD TEARS IN MY EYES TODAY WHEN I SAW STORY THAT CLOCK WAS WORKING, THINKING BACK TO MY CHILDHOOD AND HOW THAT BUILDING IS LIKE FAMILY. ITS THE TALLEST BUILDING IN BROOKLYN AND SHOULD ALWAYS HOLD THE TITLE.I FEEL VERY STRONGLY ABOUT THIS. I DON'T CARE IF RATNER BUILDS 100 HIGH RISE TOWERS NOT ONE IS TO GO HIGHER THEN THE WILLIAMSBURG BANK.
