*Main branch is on [[Caldera Street]] to serve the burgeoning East [[Old Town]].

*[[Jonathan Smart]] stepped down from his position as CEO in the Fall of 2005.
**He remains on the Board of directors indefinitely
**[[Walter Cove-Houghton]] took over for [[Jonathan Smart|Smart]] as CEO.
**There is some skepticism, however, as to [[Walter Cove-Houghton|Cove-Houghton's]] abilities.

*In late August, PCBC announced a buyout of [[Fivebridge and Remton Consolidated Bank]]
**This matter did leave some loose ends, which were brushed aside by eager PCBC executives.
**Apparently the research data submitted to the [[Perplex City Council]] did not encompass a wide enough spectrum of data.
**In susequent weeks, the Council has considered denying the buyout at all, stating the bank's disarray after the tragic murder of a single consulting economist proves that the bank's research was shoddy and incomplete.
