But I'd think he was doing work on the neighboring, higher, roof and fell.

He was repairing the window on the 3rd floor of the neighboring building and broke his left leg in two places, ankle and heel, broken right foot, much more than an ankle.

Enough people know... Meetinghouse Bank (Dorchester & Roslindale) will merge with, and become branches of, East Boston Saving come January 2018.

East Boston also merged with Mt Washington (South Boston, West Roxbury, & others) a few years back and kept the East Boston name.

Cause Southie Savings, with its 5% interest, sadly went south a long time ago.

Well, that's a use of the word "effect" you don't see every day. Probably for the best; I'm not sure that's a valid way to use it as a verb. "Convey" might be more correct.

Field-specific dialects can be so weird.
