On September 15, 2008, Wachovia CEO Bob Steel strode onto the set of Jim Cramer's Mad Money and assured his country and shareholders of a “great future” for one of the nation’s largest banks. Within weeks, that assertion unraveled, as Steel scrambled to find a buyer for Wachovia and stock value evaporated amid the nation’s financial meltdown. Employees back in Wachovia’s headquarters in Charlotte—a banking powerhouse built through decades of deals—would suddenly find themselves for the first time on the wrong end of a major banking takeover. Banktown is a tale of triumph and tragedy, an account of crisis in Charlotte’s own Bank of America and Wachovia, told with the ground-zero insights of the Charlotte Observer's award-winning business reporter, Rick Rothacker.
