It is the second largest bank holding company in the United States by assets. As of 2013, Bank of America is the twenty-first largest company in the United States by total revenue.

The bank's 2008 acquisition of Merrill Lynch made Bank of America the world's largest wealth management corporation and a major player in the investment banking market.

The 2008 Bank of America 500, was the thirty-first race of the 2008 NASCAR Sprint Cup season and race five of the Chase for the Sprint Cup, serving as the only Saturday night race in the Chase as of 2008. The 334-lap, 501 miles (806 km) event was held on October 11 at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina. ABC telecast the race beginning at 7 PM US EDT and the Performance Racing Network along with Sirius Satellite Radio had radio coverage starting at the same time.
Because of rain, qualifying was cancelled for the eighth time this season, and so the cars lined up by rulebook.
The Bank of America 500 is a NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race that is hosted annually at Charlotte Motor Speedway in Concord, North Carolina, United States, with the other one being the Coca-Cola 600 on Memorial Day weekend, the 600-mile (970 km) race. The race is held in the middle of October, as part of the Chase for the Sprint Cup and it is a 501-mile (806 km) annual race, Prior to 1966, the race was a 400.5-mile (644.5 km) event.
Thanks in large part to the ratings boost NBC received from the 2002 race being run in primetime hours, NASCAR made a decision to move the race date from Sunday afternoon to Saturday night beginning in 2003. NBC retained their rights to broadcast the race, unlike in most of the night events aired in their part of the season's contract which normally aired on TNT. With the move, then-Lowe's Motor Speedway became one of only two tracks in NASCAR to have two night dates on the schedule.
In 2005, the start was delayed by the finish to the Notre Dame-Southern California college football game which ran late. While the game was in its final minutes, NBC, the broadcaster of both events, had the race engines start and the pace laps proceed. As the pace car pulled off the track to pit road to start the race, NBC had just switched coverage from the game to the race, and the broadcast began as the field took the green flag.

Before the current building was erected, the site was location of the 6 story Butler Exchange building. Located at 55 Exchange Place and constructed in 1872, the land was purportedly deeded by the heirs of the original Samuel Butler. The 1872 building housed the Rhode Island Commercial School which was purchased and merged into Bryant & Stratton College in 1916, the forebear of modern-day Bryant University. As well as, many retail businesses such as Dodge and Camfield (importers and grocers) on street level, and Waite Auto Supply Company. The Providence Ladies' Sanitary Gymnasium was also a tenant. That building was demolished in 1925, after a devastating fire, to make way for a new tower.

This video was taken during my Jan/Feb trip out to the DFW area. This was taken before any of the elevator banks began modernization. So here are some of the elevators at BOA Plaza within Downtown Dallas. These units run at 1200 fpm, and strangely enough, these aren't the fastest in the city despite being the tallest building (Comerica's Fujitec units outrun these at 1400 fpm). I would have preferred the original cabs, something about these just feel too basic for an office building. These run fairly smoothly, however, they don't sound the best. These are honestly average for an Elevonic system, and the only thing really making these unique is that they're double-decker. Since my visit, Fujitec has started modding all banks over to Destination Dispatch, which in my option will improve wo...
